Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
and what color would that plan be?
I haven’t looked, I’m hoping it will go away. The wife should be getting home shortly from shopping with my daughter for the wedding shower.
 
With all this that has happened this week, I had forgotten to tell you that there is a new member in the family. @Remi

He is truly beautiful, really remind me my 1st one. The 2nd is younger, colors less pronounce and unfortunately I cannot move the lid without him jumping. Already 3 times carpet surfing.
 
Blue collar for life ;)
Unlike you he installs furnaces not just hot water tanks and air conditioning units. Ever hereof furnaces Luis?

I have installed several heat pumps but mostly in Miami Beach where there are many buildings that have a cooling tower on the roof, the houses here do not use that system.

They don't exist in Florida...

yes....in Miami where all the snowbirds go and still require "heat" in the middle of summer. :rolleyes: I remember people in the height of covid sending the Governor emails trying to get her to restrict snowbirds from returning and spreading it. :oops:

OMG... I think only Kev knows that meaning!. My wife's parents in Florida would turn the heat on in the morning then at around 10 am open the windows, then at noon close them and turn the AC on. and cycle this way every day. I woke up one morning and was like "is that hot air blowing in"?
 
I'm thinking I'm going to your house...
Trader Joes seems to have the best looking meat that's affordable. Whole Foods is the best barely affordable alternative option. only go to places for steaks these days. But I cleaned the ice and snow off the grill today. past week was mainly a fish diet.

Everything good with the tank since you were gone Paul?
 
How’s the pup doing Today Tim?
He had 9 total seizures yesterday. The last one was at 11:45 last night. By 7 o'clock this morning when we were leaving for church he was alert and moving around mostly normal but was lethargic. We got home about 30 minutes ago and he has his energy back and is playful and everything.

The one last night lasted about 30 seconds so it was relatively short but it took a lot out of him.

We've added another supplement to help and we're not feeding him dog food anymore (both times were within a day of switching back to dog food from raw).

Wow 9 is a lot, when you say raw food is it food without cooking?

filter flow over on the 32. downfall of the small intank baskets. I'd remove the floss but then it goes through the pump. but I think it's only 4 days that it starts to clog and 5 days is the day you should change over anyways. nothing dead. the 112 I was down to a gallon of water in the ATO. so must be up to 1.5 gallons a day. seems high. algae build up on the glass. I think I tossed in my towel and decided on another puss in there. was much more enjoyable. just placed an RF order for a few things.
