Good morning @kevgib67
Thanks for ruining my sleep by dropping pictures of the three nicest corals I've seen in a while!

Good morning John, give me a call the next time you are struggling to sleep. The local sleep study clinic has been hounding me to come and work for them for a decade, they want me to talk to their patients so they will fall asleep faster and the can double their studies a day. It’s hard to turn down 3 months paid for vacation, triple my salary and 100% match of my 401k but I like what I do. 😉

Good luck with the sheep today Tim! About a month ago we had a new state record for a stripper.

Because if you catch a "stripper" you want her to be a state record!

Kevin, I'd never be able to sleep if I called you. Id be way to busy laughing my head off lol. 🤣
 
Simon, my second oldest, got a wheel on the shoulder, overcorrected and wrecked his car. He's in getting xrays now. Seems to be mostly okay. Fingers crossed and praying. I'm here at the hospital with him.

This is what the car looked like afterward.

Oh my Wes what's the status here?
How's Simon?
Yikes...
 
Does it matter which way the powerhead points? Y'all think I could just leave it all night.
I mix both reef crystals and IO overnight.
 
Morning y'all!
Have the best Saturday!
Peace ✌️

Good morning my brother Joel

Ugh I can't think of his name Joel. It's on the tip of my tongue. Im technically 0-2 this week!
 
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.
Mines at 1.027 most of the time, usually a bit higher.
