Little dude has started doing this thing where he slams his legs down in his sleep and wakes himself up at 4:30 am. With that being said, good morning. 🤣

Good morning Tim. You are up early... It's 5:43 your time? Oh.. <tips hats, hoists coffee mug>
Who me? I'm up at 4:15 my time most days. I leave for work around 5:30 unless I decide to sit on the couch and check in on Reef2Reef for a bit and then I leave by 6 typically. I'm usually the second or third "day shift" guy in the office.
 
Real footage of me and River20 mintes ago. He wore himself out, too... Just right before my daily stroll to the coffee maker. LOL

I always ponder when it's really cold outside and I look at my Reef tank. It's crazy how we can manipulate this box of water to mimic a tropical environment with corals while the complete opposite environment is just a few feet away and they wouldn't last minutes in.
