Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yep definitely give yourself a break when you can in the next few days.
Today I have slept off and on and been doing ice and pain meds it's better than I was when I first got up this morning because of doing that and moving around as much as I can to try to loosen up the muscles.
 
the world is crazy, people are getting to not care how they drive any more....public places are too much ,,,this place and my resort only place I can relax...
I can totally relate to that brother
 
Eh on like 3 or 4 weeks sick. Not sick enough to call out or anything, but sick enough to make for a LONG month. Can't complain too much though. Got a copperband today so that makes me happy haha
Man I hope you get to feeling better. I know what you mean. Sometimes it seems like one thing leads to another and then youre spiraling. I know you've had a lot going on lately. Remember to look out for yourself man

Wifes first appointment/ultrasound is tomorrow so I took the day off. Really wanna kick this crap, its one cold after another with a persistent cough 😒
 
Poor Adelaida has pertussis (whooping cough). Her NP called this morning to tell us. Our normal pharmacy is closed on Sunday, so we had him call it in to a Walmart pharmacy instead. I drove into Eugene after Mass and picked up azithromycin (per NP prescription).
Hope she get better soon Wes, hugs to you all, Is that a type of cold?

Smart. You can definitely over rest an injury like that too. It'll stiffen up on you if you don't watch out
 
Besides the sick thing, how are you doing??
Not too bad buddy. I have 6 gonis coming in Wednesday or Thursday and im lightly stressing it bcc I haven't had a whole lot of luck with them in the past. I think im ready now.

Yes it's that not stop cough that wears your body down. If you cough in public these days people run from you lol

Maybe. Try driving in Phoenix before you relate though. 😂 We've got so many different states driving here and they only send the ones with the worst and stupidest driving habits.

I'ma try that tomorrow! Thanks for the tip.
 
The problem is that the toadstool is atached to the rock and I can't get it out, so I thought about medicating the tank.
Luis, you can only find that CIE medication on jokercorals.com I got my yellow torches and anacropora from them too.

Lol I lived in Seattle for a couple years and currently live between The Florida panhandle and New Orleans. We have all the casinos here. We're like a stupid driver mecca.

It helps if you stagger a bit afterwards. It'll give the appearance that the infection has spread to your brain.

I might use that to work in my favor!

It's a bacterial infection that lasts a long time and comes with a strong ongoing cough. Fortunately it is treatable with antibiotics. It has to be 2 hours since she nursed when she takes it, and 1 hour after she takes it before she nurses again. A few of us swapped her around and kept her from getting too upset and my 2nd daughter did an amazing job giving her the medicine. Fortunately she only needs one dose each day.
