The x-rays were clear. Now for insurance and replacement vehicle woes.
Glad to hear he is alright, I’m sure he is going to be sore for a while.
 
I think you refer to the Gulf of Mexico coast as the best coast 🤣

And by the way - Good Morning

Sincerely Lasse
Good morning Lasse!

I'm not sure if y'all can tell but this is the results of the test. Right around 1.025-6
Maybe I'm seeing wrong, but it seems to be around 1.027.
 
Hopefully we get a sheep this morning and we can focus on stripers and small mouth for the rest of the week.
Good luck with the sheep today Tim! About a month ago we had a new state record for a stripper.

Good morning Luis, how was Jason’s haul last night?

It was great, but we had to go to a mall; the neighborhood didn't seem very keen on decorating this year, he had a great time there
 
Maybe I'm seeing wrong, but it seems to be around 1.027.

I thought so too but it lines up with 35 PPT which is 1.026. That being said if its a little off on calibration that can be a mess lol
 
Isn't that ok?
I like it at 1.025, but check the tank's salinity too. If it's a little low, it's not a problem, but if it's already at 1.026 and you're going to do a big water change, you might end raising the salinity a little bit.
