You have a beautiful and happy family Luis. You can see so much love in those faces.
 
I think music is a God Given for us. Music can close the widest gaps like nothing else.
Im going to post a video for you even though you wont see it, others will. Here are the lyrics for you since you can't see the video. It's by a group called Anthem Lights. It's a beautifully done song, a cappella.

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my Light, my Strength, my Song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Form through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when striving cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again
And as he stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am his, and he is mine
Bought by the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power in hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand
 
@ReefEngineer Honestly my friend, it's never been better. Not only did the aiptasia disappear, but it allowed my CUC to go to work. Definitely mark this one down as another reef that you helped save.

WOW that is one amazing tank right there. Happy to hear I was able to get your tank looking amazing again.
 
I have to be honest. This is the funniest picture of a coral that I've ever taken.
For obvious reasons, I'm naming this coral "Sweet Lips"!

I'm going to lay this out for my extended family...meaning you...the Smorgs.
My heart is heavy tonight under circumstances that I cannot share.
I want you all to have my number. Please, if only to vent or 'female dog'...I want you ALL to know I am here for you, no matter what.
I don't care what time it is, what day it is. You all mean the world to me even though we haven't met. I can truly say you are all my family and I care for each and every one in this thread.
