Your clown fish are like me hahaha, we sleep anywhere, in the candy cane too?

Well when they were calling the duncan home it would close when lights were out and they would move into the candy cane to sleep. Now they are also in the frogspawn ( making them angry) and recently the gsp.
 
Our family owns a house in Ft. Meyers and as you all know hurricane Milton was just North of it. It didn't feel appropriate to say anything about it until after since we have Luis in Florida. Anyways there is a person staying in it and they said there are no damages to the property. We are very grateful. I am still praying for those affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton and praying that no more historic major hurricanes form... stay safe yall.

Taking the clone and fam for a camping/fishing weekend for his 7th bday. Fishing rod came in at Bass Pro Shop in a 9 foot box (rod is NOT 9 ft, it's a freshwater rod)! Think he'll like opening that one.

The photos were taken last night after the lights went out, the first photo is with the "silencer", minutes after I took the silencer out for 10 seconds and put it back in and it stopped making noise, But I don't know if I will do it again, I think so.

Walker, and if you take the same lid of the bottle and make a hole the size of the hose and glue it on, isn't it better for you to avoid risking the film to fall off?

So first thing I would do is turn the valve on the drain about half way.
If it's a gate valve, that'll be easier.
Play with that setting and see if that helps.
If not, let us know and I'll show you a contraption I made for mine.
It'll take a few adjustments and you'll need to go slow and steady.

Yes, I just can't find an 1/8th in drill bit. I probably will do that sometime today or tomorrow.
 
Everyone let me introduce you to Lacy! I met the black horse but we didn't click he was kind of standoffish and we had to kind of chase him to catch him. Lacy on the other hand stood right where she was and let us walk up to her and as I was checking her out she leaned her head on me. She is a Spotted Saddlebreed horse and they also have a smooth gait. I can't wait to bring her home when my fence is finished!

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 36 66.7%

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

    Votes: 5 9.3%

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

    Votes: 2 3.7%

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

    Votes: 0 0.0%

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

    Votes: 9 16.7%

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

    Votes: 1 1.9%
