Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Still praying Amanda, good night peanut I hope you can sleep tight. Hoping for good news tomorrow!
Not sure when I will be sleeping I'm going to stay here with him as long as I can. I would stay all night but he won't let me.
 
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.
Sounds like he's in good hands thankfully
 
I'd love one. 944, 910, 930. but not the 928. those were not the best.
I built a stroked out chevy 283 for a mid engine 914 once.
First time out the owner ripped the transmission right out of it.
He called me pleased as punch.
 
Good night folks. I am so sorry Amanda. I really am. This must be so scary and hard on you two. I am still praying for you two. Stay strong.
 
Not sure when I will be sleeping I'm going to stay here with him as long as I can. I would stay all night but he won't let me.
You need your rest too. You can't help him if you're exhausted dear. :)
 
At the ER with my husband his heart is beating irregular and his blood pressure keeps spiking it's been 192/81 the last few times. Please pray hard it's nothing serious.
Praying now Amanda...
 
Yes the doctor and the nurse gave been great i just wish they would move him to a room.
We're here for you as long as you need.
Give him my best and as John said, you need some rest too.

Thanks everyone I will go rest when I know he's in a room.
 
For all you white worm gurus, I read to bake the soil for an hour to sanitize it from fungus, nat eggs etc. did you do it? If you did is it OK to leave the worms in while it bakes? :winking-face:
I hydrate coconut coir, so no gnats in there except maybe dehydrated. Drawback, seems to take a while for the worms to move into the coir, but with patience...
 
It definitely does, or southern style white gravy. The worms love it though!

They never swarmed food like that for me. I wonder why. Maybe I had the wrong type of bread.
 
My aren't eating bread either. Try something smelly, like fish pellets or flakes. Mine devoured yeast flakes and Greek yogurt.
I smashed up sinking algae pellets into powder and fed that once or twice too.
