You said it!! Ive never engaged with social media and didnt think id ever be involved to this extent (you can tell by my username)

These guys/gals came out of the wood work when I joined. I go back at read these folks telling me that I could do it before I even got a coral. There is no way I am where I am today in this hobby without the Smorgasbord family, including Jennifer.
 
Looks like I'm a android tester now. @kingranch2003 my p04 tester is coming in Thursday. Saturday is a scheduled rock scrub and as soon as the Hanna is in I'm going to test. When should I switch out phosbond?

Yep finally. Tank is super low at least 3 gallons due to frozen pipes. Kind of screwed, gha is already back . My tank is cooked lfs STILL no sea hare after 3 months. Ridiculous

Hang in there man. You're taking the right steps and surrounded by the right people. Hopefully by time the lfs gets a sea hare, you won't need it.
