No sense fighting the crowd. Looks like a nice venue.
It was. Lead singer stated he was 83. They were a bit scratchy at times. Like an old album. We had a good time anyway.
Are you guys a day early ? Lol!! 😝
Lol, no! It did fill up. We were second in the doors. Grabbed a water and took the photo within 10 minutes from door opening.

I posted an earlier photo of my display tank. Mentioned it looks better now. Here is now. Just need to get rid of as many of the vermatid pests as possible. And add a few bumblebee snails. Maybe a couple in the sump also.

Man thanks a lot Tom. I see exactly what you're saying and I agree with this. That was kind of my intended approach with the parameters before I realized I had an issue and started over correcting. I'll get my true temp with a thermometer tomorrow since the tank is at an ok temp right now.
morning John !
