My old t5 fixture literally started smoking last night.
Don't know if it got wet or compromised in the garage or what but it's 15 years old, 10 at least so I got my money's worth.
Going to stick with the nicrews just don't feel like spending any more money on stuff for the tank.
Salt, supplements, food-okay.
I know you don't like the Windex look very much lol but it looks great
 
Vinyl day continues! More metal, some old Stones, Wish you were here album and Pink Floyd's very first album for all you older reefers and old souls.

I'm waiting on a pair of AI Primes coming from Canada. Usually 6-7 business days but we're going on 3 weeks...
hang in there brother, I just waited 21 days for priority shipping here in the states
 
Yeah maybe more.
Mostly 80's alternative
Big Country U2, the Smiths, REM.
Tons of old jazz too and lots of easy listening elevator music.
Everything really.
Tons of old original pressing Zeppelin and Grateful Dead.
Lots of reggae.
You name it.
I had a bunch of classical, Bach mainly.
Roxy Music, the Jam, 7 Seconds.
It goes on.....
Billie Holliday....
How did you organize it all to find what you wanted to hear? That’s a crazy amount of records.
 
I hope it's nothing bad and you can get out of it soon, my friend. But if it's about insurance, I imagine it won't be easy. I see insurance almost as scams, lol. Whatever the insurance, you pay for years and when you need to make a claim for any reason, you have to fight as if you had never paid them $1.
Owning a business, especially with employees you HAVE to have insurance unfortunately.
The more employees you have, the higher/different brackets they put you in
Each one requires audits once a year, and they change the audit requirements to suit their wishes, no matter how difficult it is for you to comply.
Each business is different.
Restaurant is one thing.
A flower shop doesn't carry the same liability as say an auto shop, etc.
The whole system sucks.
You can go your whole life never making a claim, but, in the end, they have their rules.
The insurance system has been manipulated so much by so many I don't blame them at all but people like me suffer from others misuse.
And it's all a game I just don't want to play.

All alphabetical by type of music in separate areas.
Total nerd....
