What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Here is a picture of Larry enjoying his first meal in his new home. He hasn't moved from that spot yet.
looks so delicate. did he find a worm yet or is that just a piece of fish food?
 
im so sorry to hear that about baby. will keep praying. poor thing....
Thank you. She said they had to put a central line in and it took them the tries to get it and they ending up having to go through her little foot. The pictures she has shared with me are heartbreaking. As much as it hurts my heart to see her like this i know it's got to be killing her mom and dad.
 
totally agree. it just kills you as a parent. but im glad they seem to care about her and are there with her. when my baby was in the hospital for a surgery, i couldnt believe all the babies that were there that no one ever came to visit. it broke my heart. but the nurses act like thats not uncommon😭

That's awful! What kind of parent would leave their baby alone!
 
Today I feel vindicated in my decision to pursue a large AIO setup. When @TheWB, Woodyman, and I worked with Tenecor to design a range of AIO tanks, our main idea was to build a true sump-sized AIO tank. My tank was the prototype and Warren had a tank built to more or less the same specifications after Tenecor ceased operations. Our sumps are full length and height and 8" deep so regular sump-style equipment just fits.

Right now I'm also not supposed to do deep knee bends, sit ups, push ups, or squat thrusts; so basically all of the postures needed to work on a traditional sump. I just changed my filter and I'll harvest the fuge later today.
I'm just glad you're here with us Tom, picking out bomb 💣 music I can listen to in my morning routine cooking food.
 
I have plenty of bristle worms lol
They work very well for these and worms of all sorts.
Once that supply is gone you need to supplement their diet or they will go after small fish.
They are voracious eaters and actually quite personable and great scavengers, great for people who over feed 😉
 
Feeling better Joel?
Yes, some, thanks Kev 😊
Just a rough day at work, super busy and the fire here is really bad, not making it much fun 😑...
