No wonder the sheriff pulled him over.
Let's all pray he makes it...
Hey, don’t knock my classic car! Mine is the high end model with the much larger 13 inch wheels. Bad to the bone!

You should be ashamed of yourself @tbrown. For all the times we have reported you, I can’t believe that Rev lets you be on here.
 
I left the house today @3:10 am.
It was 71 degrees.
That's the low for today :upside-down-face: :crying-face:
Incredibly hot in the kitchen today hope y'all are staying cool :cool:
 
How do yall keep your glass so clean? Mine is so dirty and very difficult to clean.
Because of my huge ego I’m assuming you are asking me. I was cleaning my glass every other day and then I installed a uv sterilizer. I went to every 3-4 days. A uv won’t remove algae from the glass or rock but from the water column before it gets there.
 
Ok, not to bad, just dirty glass and that has been corrected.

There it is! The reef that convinced me that I needed a birdsnest colony.

Agree with the ego guy ;), plus a good amount of CUC

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this before but I’m giving away FREE birdnest frags!
 
!!!! They'd be happy right here, I think.

Ohio and the gulf coast makes us practically neighbors. Stop by anytime and you’ll go home with as many birdsnest frags as you want!
 
2ND only to the superbowl halftime show
We talked/texted awhile back but even though I live in the Youngstown area, I work in University Heights.
 
Beautiful rockscape John!
Thanks a lot Kevin. I knocked it over several times and got extreme discouraged before I got it right. I've been light acclimating some hammers, mushrooms, and zoas on the sand bed. I'm trying to decide where to place everything on the rock work. I know hammers can be aggressive, so they'll probably go on top of the arch.

I'm on my way. I've driven farther to hunt!
