Morning senor!
Good morning Joel! Enjoy your Sunday, put on a football game and chicken wing tacos and 7 layer bean dip.
 
Headed out on vacation today. My brother and his wife are watching our place. 👀
Have fun or get some much needed rest, which ever suits you or perhaps some of both!
 
yeah i know. but what about it? or is that it?
My personal feeling is that the member is a bot as most of the responses are, at best, nonsensical or generic. If it is a person then I apologize but you need to do something more than add noise to a thread.

Good Morning everyone. Here are some pictures from a boys camp I was on with my brothers.

Wait, are you talking about me?

This meme is a trigger for me.

My father was a big Halloween fan. One year after I moved out he made a 12 foot tall Paper Mache Frankenstein for the front yard, witches on brooms suspended by ropes, etc. You get the idea, nuts.

Anyway one year when I was maybe 10 or 11 my father decided to design my Halloween costume. It looked very much like this picture except the arms and legs were also boxes that were hinged and the, whatever that is on the chest in the meme, area was a chute with a paper bag inside so when I went to a door I would push a lever and my chest would open up to accept the treats. It was uncomfortable and hard to walk in. After a little while all of my friends, yes I had a few, decided to 'go ahead a little bit', never saw them again that night. The good part was though that I scored more treats, and photos, than any other year.
 
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.
Thanks Joel, I've got people that can check on him during the day but not at night. He's a wonderful dog so he is worth the effort and especially the extra love.

You should duplicate it this Halloween and post pictures! Please, please, please.
 
The first batch I never saw.
Ever.
Tried at night
Nada
I waited 3 months until the aiptasia got so bad I almost quit the hobby altogether.
This time I nuked at least 75 percent of the aiptasia so the battle for the Berghia would be easier.
I only saw two of my nudis once after they entered the tank. I've never seen them since but I'm sure there are some in there as I get Aiptasia on my gyres and return pipe but none on the rocks--pause to knock wood--. It took a few weeks before I noticed anything in the tank after they were introduced. As someone else on here said it isn't so much the ones you introduced but their offspring that do the work. Good luck, fingers crossed that they finally work out for you.
