@00W evening Joel! Saw your post this morning man, praying for you. Hope everything goes smoothly while you settle into these life changes and you and the wife can soon look back at this moment as the beginning of the best years of your lives brother! You built something incredible, I hope these new owners can keep it going and up to the same standard, but that said, i hope your able to pass the torch on and finally get some of that R&R that you always seemed to get shorted!
Thank you Mike 😊
We met with them today and they were very receptive to me phasing my way out of there.
Thanks for the kind words!
 
I still get up some what early 8ish
I'm trying to get my body and mind schedule normalized after 30 years of getting up @2AM.
Right now I'm able to sleep until 3:40.
Don't know what it is about that time in particular but every morning when I look at my phone, sure enough, 3:40 it is...

Oh man thats a rough schedule for 30 years. I have always been a night person but i always had a day time job.
I hate getting up early. Maybe put your phone in another room out of reach so you wont look at it

that's when you take Ambien and roll back over.

Good idea!
I've gotten up early, gone to bed early my whole life.
Working nights will be a big adjustment for sure.
 
ya they would go under sand during day time or hide in the rock dark areas

Yep that look like a Pitho. I really like them, even my wife likes them.

I think they just wasnt enough algae for them or room on the bottom where mine stayed all the time
 
Shouldnt you be in the 30k club already
I’m rather shy and introverted, I really don’t interact on this forum much. I don’t even have a tank or any interest in reefing I just like reading.
