Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That is so bad to hear man. Ugh Im sorry for you brother. I have a farly big coral order out too. So you think the seller may work with you any?

We will see. This is the first time I have run into this issue and they are reputable company. I honestly just feel bad for the critters. Problem was I ordered it last week and did not check the weather since South Florida never gets this cold lol. Last week it was like mid 70s which I do not think would be an issue. I also think how Fedex handled the box was terrible of course.
 
Just got home from having the surgeon look at the surgical site. It is what I already knew it was, a large hematoma.
The pathology reports all came back clear! Not that I was worried, but you always sabotage yourself thinking "what if"
well 50/50 good and bad.
What if? as in What if I'm a big boy for life? 🤭
Seriously, glad it's good news.
 
@Calmwaters what do you do in the blind all that time? Just curious. Is it shared or do you have your hubby as a neighbor for two locations? I mean, to sit there and wait for so long I think I would be watching a movie with ear buds, playing UNO, listening to audio books etc...But being how we get posts, you're at least communicating with us. We had a propane delivery guy come before the big switch to natural gas feed that said he and his daughter had a cabin in NH somewhere and they would just sit inside watching moving movies etc...until a motion detector went off and they would just open the cabin window. 😆 Why be cold, miserable and wet he said.

Something to try, apples. they seem to love deteriorating apples.

Here in AZ bait/feed is illegal. When we sit in blinds (rarely) we use tripods and binos. When we sit on hillsides (most hunts) we use tripods and binos. When we sit by the truck we use binos and tripods...

We don't really have much service where we hunt. Weird thing but the deer and elk don't use cellphones very often so I guess Big Wireless refuses to cater to the ones that do.

I can totally relate to that brother. Same situation here with the weather. We try our best, but like you said, I hate it for the.live stoxk
 
That one, is for me :)

I have a few plates for sale…ranging from crazy to insane!
You selling corals is the most exciting thing ive experienced on r2r in a long time! We (the Smorgasbord) need to be able to keep up with your stock and selection. So don't forget to drop in from time to time!
 
Illegal. Even game cameras are illegal here.
wow, I think we can use mounted machine guns and patriot missiles here. Is the population small or something?

We are allowed 1 deer and elk per person per year IF we get drawn during the hunting lottery. We are allowed 1 of each species of bighorn sheep in our lifetime and 1 buffalo in our lifetime. 1 turkey per year, 2 javelinas per year, 2 pheasants per year, and 1 bear, mountain lion, and a few other things.
 
We do have some over the counter archery turkey, javelina, and deer but they count towards our annual limits.

Reminds me of when I went Turkey Hunting at my uncles property in Georgia with a shotgun when I was younger. It was fun. Have not been deer hunting or for other game as I have been busy during those seasons.

They could easily raise the Javelina allowance to one per week, or even one per day.

We seem to be using PFAS and letting them fall down on their own.
