remi, gorgeous tank!! well done!

Well...
I still have my beautiful aiptasia garden.
Don't think they've touched a thing.
Thanks for asking Jill.
I think John got the hungry berghia, not I.
 
I appreciate the thought. We talked about it quite a bit. My time slot is pre-allocated to check-in at 1pm and procedure at around 3pm. We've decided to just go up early in the day and hang out in Chandler until its time to go over.

We were originally going to do just that, rent a room and stay in the area. Part of the problem is our dog, he has significant skin outbreaks that they think are caused by Cushings Disease, his food has to be mashed up because he has no teeth and he is functionally blind but too independent to admit it. Our local vet stopped doing boarding about a year ago and none of the other boarders in the area are really equipped to, or willing to, deal with a 'special needs' dog.
Thoughts are always with you Tom.
Always will be.
Our dog also has Cushings and it's a lot of management, clean up and extra love that's for sure.
We can leave for a few hours, maybe less at a time only.

I think it takes like a month or so.

Ya, it’s usually not the first ones that you introduce but the second and third and fourth generations that get the job done. Patience young Jedi.
