I really hope everyone else had a good taco Tuesday!
20240909_141116.jpg
No tacos today - our co-op did a meal train for us. I had Beef Stroganoff for lunch and dinner. One of my favorites except I prefer the Mexican Stroganoff version with chili paste instead of cream of mushroom. Either way, a delicious day!
 
Okay so Jill has got the reactors and Becky has the scrubber.
Anyone thinking about the skimmer?
Nope! I have 2 used in the garage, 1 needing repairs in the fish room, and 2 brand new in box currently!

We might be able to start out own store, after the food truck that is. ;)
 
While my family is trying to avoid drowning, we're trying to avoid burning... Getting a bit of a nervous tick kver here staring at the plumes of smoke iver the hill...
Prayers for you as well!
 
Okay guys and gals.
I'm serious about this.
I've got a set of 2 brs reactors complete minus pump with lots of extra adapters in a box in the garage.
I've had them for a couple of years.
They're clean and work well.
I'm never going to use them and I want someone on the Smorgasbord to have them ,or a reefer you know or whatever.
I don't want anything for them so if anyone is interested pm me please and I'll mail them off.
I'm serious guys.
I'd rather someone use them because the garage is not using them.
I'm not a big "I want something for my stuff guy " just want them to go to a good home. :smiling-face:
Rather late in the reply but if they haven’t been taken I’d like to know if it’s something I could try out. I don’t know how to use them or if they’d work in either setup.


lol edit, I didn’t finish reading. I see they found a wonderful home ❤️
 
Is something happening to my birdsnest?

It looks like it is either losing it’s polyps or some are just closed. When I do a water change mine is above the water line for an extended period of time and when I fill the tank up they stay closed for about an hour. You have better eyes on it than I do with the picture. If it is losing polyps frag the healthiest piece for safekeeping. Just an observation, it is mounted slightly lower than your hammer and frogspawn, it has higher light demands than those lps. I would mount it at the highest point of your rock scape so it gets more light.
