Hugs to you both
 
I'm curious to hear, according to what you told your wife, what price range the Banana Torch is in, around $50 to $100 I bet lol, I'm telling you this because my wife thinks all corals are worth between that range, and sometimes even less lol
Lol! She's the bill spreadsheet person of the house. No hiding it from her, Luis!
I can't afford to pay crazy trade prices for these corals. That's why you see me get one at a time and only every once in a while. My lfs is also really good at getting nice corals and offering low prices. Youd be surprised how many of mine came from 3 miles down the road. After a gift card and freebies thrown in, I have less than $20 in the actual torch lol
 
My goodness! That's what I'm talking about. That is Smorgasbordafterdark approved. Does he say what lights he uses?
Write to him bro, he's super nice and I assure you he'll answer you, I've spoken to him several times

God Bless you both. Stay strong, Prayers are coming

Oh cool. I'll have to download Instagram, it wouldn't let me see more than the first screen. I'd definitely like to know more about it.

Saying prayers for you both.
 
Have you spread yogurt and yeast flakes on the bread and flipped it upside down on the soil yet Walker?
Yes, I have. They may be working on the bread, it just could be hard for me to tell.

I'm so sorry Amanda. I am praying for you both. Hugs to you two.
 
@smitten with ocean life, are the worms in the soil or are they all trying to "escape"? I say this because white worms are almost just like fish. The decomposing matter in the soil creates ammonia which is toxic to worms, just like fish. So when the ammonia starts to get high they will all try to escape, which would look like them all on the edges, surface or lid. That's when you know that you need to refresh their soil.

If they're in the soil and alive, they should be healthy. I hope this all works out for you.
 
They say so far the test are not showing a heart attack yet but they are going to keep him over night and have him do a stress test tomorrow. The doctor wants to make sure there is no blockage because that could be causing the blood pressure to be so high. They have given him 4 aspirin and 2 different blood pressure medicines and it's still too high.

Hang in there. Take a deep breath. It will work out.
 
He wanted to go home but the doctor told him he would not sign off on it because all the symptoms he's having could mean a blockage or be a warning sign before a heart attack.
