Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
no @kevgib67 , they were all from different vendors. but i will say they all looked like they had the funny sucked in stomach. maybe they werent healthy to begin with? idk.
so sorry tim! hopefully today you find some answers! wishing you the best! i dont remember- what kind of dog do you have? hopefully it was just a freak thing!
I bought mine at my lfs, it had a big round belly and ate fish food until he looked like he was going to explode. Do you have an lfs? Helps to see it looking healthy before you purchase it. I’ve bought all mine from my local lfs, I bet those on the Smorg can recommend a really reliable fish vendor.

Hey guys and gals, gonna be a quiet one from me today. My puppy had a couple of seizures last night so I spent the night sleeping in a dog bed in the bathroom with him. He's doing good today but I'm going to start calling vets around and see what we got.
So sorry Tim, I have him in my prayers. If scan and blood work are clear it will be controlled with Keppra.
 
Ultrasound for what?
We're expecting a daughter. Since my wife is over 40 they do more ultrasounds. This is for the 32 week mark.
 
Does this mean diet today?
I can't afford to be on a diet, I'll disappear.

Means I don't have lunch :confused-face: I'm going straight from work to getting my oil changed.

Sorry brother, they're so much a part of our family. Take care of your buddy. We'll be here when you get back.
