morning K!....yes always a adventure when her girls come here and get a few drinks in them...lol....
us guys just sit w bourbon and a cigar.. while some others play on the putting green....or watch tv on the patio, or inside and of course the tank draws them....girls dog will be playing frisbee all day and night...when the lights come on on that side of the yard...
the food is always amazing......
 
more I been thinking about the new tank the more it gonna happen...being able to drop the stand height of the new tank make cleaning it easier and to look down into it will be amazing,,,
also will open the wall space..current tank is 8ft long x 30inx24.new one planning to be 6ftx4ftx2ft tall.
I am so wanted a deep tank to landscape...with more tangs....lol...

Tom it’s actually freshwater lake food , seafood is well .........Sea Food which is from the Sea and if it’s from Kevin , it’s Restaurant food Lol !! 🤣 🤣
Anything that's ok to eat on a Friday during Lent is seafood!
 
I know, I used to fish for walleye all the time but I've never heard anyone ever anyplace call pike, perch, bluegill, etc. fresh food or lake food but technically you are correct so I guess I'll just call it fish from now on.
Not me. That's seafood brother!
 
The only fish you’ll see me cook that’s not from the grocery store are walleye. Not especially fun to catch, they have very little fight in them. You limit out and have a fish fry here’s some I caught with my brother in law a few years ago.

Haha! Right!? Of course you might get a pocket protector thrown at you though.

Good morning my friend

lol...oh so they provide me with weapons to use ... I LOVE IT...LOL..I am kinda fond of pencils...
🤣🤣😂🤣 Pencils are just unattached pistol bayonets anyways!
 
Good morning CB! How's the tank looking with the sponge situation. Been meaning to ask you.
Same, only I’m letting it grow out a little without intervention . I have a starfish that seems to be on it for the last couple days . He’s move of it once and now is in the middle of it . Trying to see if he’ll eat it ! Won’t that be great 👍
