Good night all and please enjoy your week end, I was able to get a photo of the dartfish this morning while eating. @ESABOE what I mean yesterday was I am very lucky to get very peaceful individual fish since my first mistake with the magenta dotty back.

Hey @kevgib67 , do I need to take Sonic ( (my son chose the name lol )out to clean up his extra load or will he release it later?

Probably already answered but I'm playing catch-up.

He'll drop it if he wants to. Usually I only take stuff away if it's something I don't want him carrying.
 
Family today when I entered R2R at noon I realized that I am now a moderator of the 305 reef club, it all started because about a month ago I found that group from Miami and I wanted to join and I realized that the owner of the group is no longer in the forum, I wrote to several members and they told me that I had to write to a mod, after that I wrote to Daniel and Rev, and suddenly they added me to the club, but a few days later I received an email from Alycia-Marie that They tried to contact the owner of the group but he wasn't available and she asked if I could be it, I told her that I didn't know the role of a group moderator but I was happy to help, and well here we are lol
Congrats!!!
 
How are you?
Everything good, for now I have the day off from work (fingers crossed) I had to take the wife's car to the mechanic but here it woke up raining a little, How about you, free today or working?

I'm always off on the weekend we took the newest pups to let them chase a rabbit before it gets too hot for them to run here. It's suppose to be 90 today which is really hot for us. Not sure what else we will do today other than clean house and do laundry.

Ohhh, he is a cutie! Lucky to get such a good action shot.

Ahhh, yes; those orchid dotty backs are quite the terrors! I really wanted one but knew it would destroy my fish family; especially since I have mostly small to med size fish.
 
Good morning peeps, have a great day. All of you fathers get some rest, it is going to be exhausting being pampered and showered with gifts all day tomorrow. Thank god it is only once a year!

Good mornin. I’m hoping to get the umpf to start this reef cleaning. I think I need to drain the sump and clean it. This is going to be an adventure.
