My wife got a call last night - her aunt passed away. She's been sick for a bit now. She got a UTI and it just wasn't getting any better. She was sent home a few weeks ago and went septic. They took her back to the hospital yesterday but she just got worse and passed away around 10 pm. She was 85 so had lived a long life.

We weren't super close with that side of the family but they're family still so if you guys could pray for them, they'll be grieving.

I'm so sorry to hear that Tim, hugs to your wife and the rest of the family

Bad day yesterday for the aquarium. I bought 2 BTA Friday, placed them they stick for like 7 hours not moving one but fully opened before going to bed. Yesterday morning, both on the same powerhead, water a bit cloudy, I think it happened not long before. One was shredded, the other a bit better ( I try to save it), I put it on the sump and got an acclimation box. Last I wanted to give raw shrimp by hand and the royal pencil jump out of the aquarium behind it. I got him and put back inside, he was staying at the bottom swimming straight, not sure if he will made it as it is the first time for me that a fish jump. He is not yet out, we will see. This morning anemone seems a bit better. Anyway sorry to hear Tim.

Oh Remi, what a day, I had to sell my BTA because it moved all over the tank and bothered the corals a lot but it never moved towards a powerhead, about the wrasses I have noticed that when I approach the tank too quickly the exquisite gets scared and jumps, it has already hit the lid mesh 2 times, after that I always remember and every time I go to do something in the tank I first sit near it for a few minutes and then I remove the lid. I hope he survives

sorry, you've had a round of bad luck. hoping it turns around for the new year.
 
Good morning
Frantically looking for my mandarin Goby I introduced yesterday evening.
I was up an hour before lights came on looking for him with a flashlight.
Can we all do a goby dance and bring him out to viewing. Hope the little dude is okay…
My lights are just coming on.
Where is he!!
