00W's AIO Smorgasbord

*clears throat*
I'd like to thank the awesome members of the Smorg for helping me achieve callouses on the tips of my fingers, broadening my musical interests, sharing recipes, family pictures, their daily lunches and the occasional reef tank/fish/coral discussion.

This is perfection.

My prayers are being sent for their safety.
My step son is over there, he is jet engine crew chief.
I got a tear in my eye reading this, I know the feeling, been there, done that. Plus, my step son being there.

I was definitely thinking of you when I was reading that

I am going to add more rock along the back, sorta build up the right side a bit higher. Give it a sloping reef ledge look with the 'tower' on the left for the magnifica.

A tower in one corner, leading down to a slope on the other side. I think I must've thought that was a good idea too!

Brother, the colors in your tank! You have chosen well, the contrasting is spot on

I’ve corresponded with @Remi and he and his family are in a dangerous situation. He gave me permission to share his conversation. I know we are a praying group, he and his family could use them now. Put them in overdrive.

Thank you for sharing this Kevin. If you get to talk to him again, please let him know that he and his family are in my prayers.

Good afternoon Wes. I hope your family is doing well.

John, where did you find that branching cyphastrea you had?

My nitrates and phosphate are off the chart. Consulted my LFS's owner (who actually makes his living caring for other people's tanks). He guessed it's because of overfeeding and possibly from introducing phyto before the fertilizer is processed. I need to analyze the phyto before adding anymore and I guess do a major water change. I already had the kids start feeding less. I struggle with the Hanna reagent packets, so I bought Salifert from the LFS

Also a dollar per packet adds up if you need to test much

Very well written John. Yes, most Americans don't hear how other countries truly feel about the US due to "news" stations censoring the truth. They (news stations) want us to think the rest of the world is against the US, when in fact, most countries a very grateful for what the US has provided... protection, finance, democracy... to name a few.

Absolutely right my friend
