Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So I have Cipro coming, more on that later.

I need to do an in-tank treatment as it looks like my trumpet and green hammer, as well as what is left of the gold tipped Indo torch are all affected. I have to assume that the peach hammer, plum hammer, and blue torch are also affected just not visibly yet.

I've been reefing off and on for 49 years but I've never used Cipro. So my question. I think I see two different methodologies for in-tank Cipro treatments: one that is a large single dose and one that is a smaller dose spread out over several days. For those of you that have used either, or another, method what worked for you?

Also if you will be in need of Cipro in the near future, do not buy it without checking here first. There is a strong possibility that there will be an excessive supply available in Southern Arizona shortly.
This is the method I have used multiple times and it has worked successfully.

Well, my wife has had me for many years and she still hasn't thrown me out for a shelter lol
Well you just successfully crossed one hurdle! Neutered?
 
Good morning Tom.

Thanks. Guess I'm having a 'catch up' day. I fell asleep half through so I played it again. I was watching a video on the new constraints in Fusion 360 and woke up learning about AI Prompts.

I don't know that this is suitable for aferdark so I'll post it here. The very first record I ever owned. It was a 45. I didn't have a record player and I needed to do a lip-sync in school, no idea what grade it was. Anyway my mother had an old portable record player that didn't work anymore that she gave me. The belt slipped but I was able to rough up the drums enough to get it working. The amp was blown as well and it was mono so I went to Radio Shack and bought a pre-amp kit, an amp kit, a power supply board, a 3x5 speaker, and a MM cartridge. After I got the thing working I needed a record to lip-sync. I chose:

 
It’s 5 o clock somewhere!

We are at my nieces house for her son’s birthday. She lives in the same neighborhood my wife and I raised our kids in.

The Buckinghams!
That is definitely #Smorgasbordafterdark approved! I have so much of this era on vinyl. I don't know what it is. Maybe it is back then they actually sang, harmonized and played instruments. So you probably like The Standelles and Count Five?
Thanks for sharing the cool memory my friend
