Patience
If you can get a good picture and post it on Frank's thread we can get you an ID on whether it's a Red Sea or not.
I will try to go back tomorrow during lunch.
 
Two tanks!!! That's a great idea Kev
Ya, until I tell my wife, so if I’m suddenly not on here one day, she’s Italian, just assume I was fitted with a pair of concrete shoes and I’m at the bottom of a lake.

The first two that puts 20 cents or more into my tank upgrade gofundme account gets put in my will for a tank apiece and gets to split and half of the birdnest colony. For those who can’t wait for my demise, did I ever mention I’m giving away free birdnest frags, pick up only?

@kingranch2003 , care to share your first name, we are all on a first name basis here. If you are uncomfortable sharing it is ok we will just do what we did when Tim wouldn’t share his first name, we all chipped in and hire a private investigator who ended up getting it for us in less than 24 hours.
hmmm....I forget my name...lol

Actually my town Youngstown was a big mob town. Before the 80’s people went missing. The mob was a go between the New York and Chicago mobs and Pittsburgh and Cleveland mobs. The was an Episode of the Supranos where Pauli is visiting the mob in Youngstown and gets arrested and Tony won’t bail him out . Go to YouTube and type in Richard Pryor Youngstown mob, it is hysterical. It’s about when he came to Youngstown to do stand at a mob owned club. I would post it but Rev wouldn’t be happy, family friendly forum.
