Oh never mind 2010 I guess....
 
I just started a new page in one of my log books and today I also recorded the song that was playing at the time and I think I’m going to start recording my mood in my log too. What do y’all think?

What do y’all think?
I use Aquaforest Reef Salt+ and I’m switching to Red Sea coral pro salt.
Is Red Sea good? I’m switching due to Red Sea is readily available.

I use the AF Reef/Sea salts in the 200g box. When they go on sale, you can snag them for $45/ea and I stock up and make my FedEx guy hate me.

My son was a month and a day early (35 weeks, 6 days) so 1 day preterm and thus was considered premie. He was born 2 days before my Mom's birthday so we spent her birthday in the hospital because of my son's birthday. Poor mom.

For the record, he had to spend 5 days in NICU because he was "premie" but every day the nurses asked why he was there. They had to put him under a heat lamp a minimum of 1 hour each day just to justify him being there...
 
What are your parameters with that salt?

That frag rack!!!
I customize it to exactly my tank water at the time of water change.
The corals don’t even know what is going on during the replacement process.
