Ok, I’m going to beat Keith to it. I didn’t know Pedro Pascal played MLB before his acting career!
 
I could mail you 1500 mg today if you pm me your full name and address. The post office closes at 1:00 pm eastern time.
Wow Kevin,

Thank you for the generous offer! It's too late now to make the PO but I really appreciate the offer. It wouldn't get here until Tuesday or Wednesday anyway and I'm not making any plans beyond Monday until the procedure is behind me.

The procedure is also the main reason I declined my nomination for MotM for July. I was originally scheduled for the procedure on June 25th but the doc had to reschedule it for July 15th.

I think I resigned myself to losing the two torches but as soon as I'm back home I'll order some Cipro and watch the other torch for any signs of a problem. I would dose the tank anyway since I've had problems with acans in the past but my hammers are all fine and they get the same arcobacter infections as torches and acans. I've lost hammer heads but those were all from peppermint shrimp. I'm going to keep an eye on them as well.

I haven't noticed any bjd so it is still possible the issue is mechanical rather than bacterial.

Offer still stands if you change your mind. I hope your procedure goes well, I’ll be praying for a great outcome and a speedy recovery.
 
Sorry guys, busy day! Hot day also...

Helped my dad tile some more this morning, now I'm making water. Gonna go pick up my new pistola after that and then see about working on tanks. 110 needs the second canister added, 70 needs the new Tunze added.

I’ve done a water change everyday for the past four days. My son’s three tanks are good until he gets home a week from Monday. This would probably feel like a cold spell to you.
