Hey everyone, since I know Luis’s birthday I would like help in planning his surprise party so make sure no one lets it slip I want it to be a surprise! We could all pool money for a single gift or frag a coral out of our tank, I’m thinking of a birdsnest for me.
 
They got delayed last night. I hope they make it
What all did you order? I hope they are okay. These crazy cold temps are not good for is trying to add things to our tanks.
 
so what's on the dinner menu? or what's now "off" the menu?

For lunch I had a chili cheese coney from sonic. For supper I'm having cubed deer meat lightly seasoned in Dale's seasoning then fried.

I had 4 rainbow acans colonies, a favia, some zoas and three sps frags. I don't think I've had a successful coral shipment yet. Lol this delay is no one's fault though

Haven't had lunch yet. I'm thinking Salad and Go.
 
Trying to enjoy this nice cool morning and relax in the tub. Can’t help but think about my $2k in coral that’s been sitting two days in a warehouse in New Jersey probably all dead by now.
