Patience
Just poured a coffee and back ,,,,,,looks like its been like over 125 pages and over a month since I chatted with you all...work ...took me away ..
At least you came back!
 
Morning all. Feeling more human today. The meds they had me on for the crud had my tummy so sour and it literally swelled me up. I tossed it in the garbage yesterday. To be fair today would have been the last dose but I’ve gotta babysit tomorrow and needed today to actually recover from recovery lol.
 
omg ...what is there a food shortage going on... I am trying to get my hands on tdo food and its only available in small size...Girl bought reef nutrition and it sinks very fast...tdo floats better sizes small and medium did my last bags...
any one use any other company pellet food that floats....?
I like to mix several sizes and kinds together..
I see flake but I never used it and not sure if salt fish like that???
Help........me.......lol....

Glad to see you back Rumple!
 
good to chat with you ........I think the two skimmers have made a hugh positive difference in the tank...Have reef octupus 300int and a 200int(from the old 140 tank)
I have the 200 in chamber 2 right after the intake of water chamber and the 300 in the big open area right before return chamber...
I noticed the 200 gets alot of dark greenish dark brown goo in the cup and the 300 gets a light color brownish in the cup and not goo like the 200,,

hahaha I said gooo.....

I alternate every morning TDO pellets, flake and reef jerky. The fish eat the flake as enthusiastically as the others as well as the frozen at night.
 
Impresonante Luis!
Good morning Luis, I had a patient in las week, the second time I’d seen her, who spoke minimal English. I got by and had some help from her 5 yo daughter who I told I learned all my Spanish from Dora the Explorer and she said that is where she learned her English. Anyway my patient told me my Spanish was very good. I thought you couldn’t lie in Spanish?

You just left out an i in the word "impresionante" but it was understood and kids never lie ;)

I use new life spectrum pellets but they float and go down the overflow.
So I put them in a cup of water in the fridge every night and feed them when I get home.
Sometimes I soak them while dry in vitachem then add water.
They sink muy bueno this way.
Just can't leave them too long.
 
we were supposed to get snow this week but it looks like the forecast changed, but it also wasnt supposed to rain last night and it did! Fired up the snowmobiles this week and the xc ski trails are ready to go, cant wait to get the snow season started!

I actually fired up the snowblower yesterday just to make sure!
 
I’m an old guy, I would fight him for 20 million! I could finally do my upgrade. Yes , I would loose in the first 10 seconds.
You probably won't do much worse than Mike did
