Overcast here at the beach - won’t see a thing. But keep sending us pics!

a wise purchase in my mind!

In my top five movie scenes of all time - saw it opening day in huge screen theater. Started to cry when the music hit and I saw my favorite dinosaur. Still gives me the feels to this day.

Walker, get out there and explore those fleamarkets!

I absolutely had to see this on big screen!

Here is the link to it and a picture of the dimensions. It doesn't have a freezer section but it will hold 12 cans if they are laying down and stacked on top of each other.

Just a thought, put the goby in an acclimation box. Feed heavy, let it heal up and in the meantime lets the clown and your wrasse get used to its presence. We will figure this out so you have peace in your tank.

Totally forgot about acclimation box suggestion - sorry about that Luis.

Keep in there for at least a week. With sand and some rubble to hide.

Yep, still needing that Billy vibe.

That old person talking smack about how privileged I am to go on this vacation- on the phone to one of my brothers! And that would be the brother who goes or sends his wife and 10 yr. Old to Hawaii every year.

Love getting deflated while packing suitcase on what is for me an incredible vacation.

Where is that dang iceberg!

Thank you Amanda!

You don't need to apologize my friend, but I think I looked for the acclimatization box for nothing fortunately , I got home and it was about 20 minutes and I don't see an attack, the goby is already in the sand and I don't see anyone attacking him, thanks god, Anyway, I have the box ready just in case.

    Votes: 33 66.0%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 10.0%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 4.0%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 8 16.0%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 2.0%

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
