Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our dog today.
Sorry about the food post Tom, I hadn't seen your post, I'm so sorry my friend.

sorry to hear that brother, those furry friends really pack a lot of love in the short amount of time we get with them. my sincere condolences Tom
 
@ShakeyGizzard Sorry but im very interested in your reclamation project with the coral skeleton your Dad gave you years ago. These are just suggestions, man. What about a cyphastrea frag? It'll take over every inch of that skeleton like paint! They also aren't heavy and chunky, but more of a "skin" covering the coral.

One more, don't laugh at me, but what if you cut up some gsp and used that?

I haven't seen the skeleton yet, but I bet it would be a gorgeous "tree". Just a couple ideas for you.
 
Also good morning everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted some songs and quotes recently we will get back to that tomorrow!
A little different for today
1. Our little trio has been doing great! River has been adjusting to our home lives well and we have absolutely loved having him at home with us. It’s amazing to see God’s hand be on his life and seeing how well he is doing since the days he was in the NICU.
2. I don’t know if all of you have heard or not but our dear friend @Miami Reef has passed away. This was a complete shock to me as I had no clue this happened until I got a text from revhtree about his passing. My condolences go out to his family, and prayer for his family. I lost both my grandma and uncle on the same day this year. Losing family member or friends is never an easy thing. It’s sad to see the ones you love pass away, but what I remind me people is they are in a better place. I believe those who die at a younger age, God is saving those people from the evil that is in the world today, and saving them from more tragedy. I encourage all of you here to live every day like it’s your last. This life is very fragile and we should be living every day with a since of purpose and a since of changing the lives around us. If any one of you need someone to talk to, I’m always here for it and my dms at all times are open.
3. On a lighter note, here’s the song of the day for all of you!
