Look, you should know me by now. Only rock and metal exist on my phone, haha
You say that as though there aren't any sad rock and metal songs about men burning women. 🤣

Good morning Kevin! I'm in the San Fernando Valley (within Los Angeles County), 2.5hrs from San Diego area, it can and will probably get into the 100's soon up to around 108.

Sorry all... Lotsa lotsa pages. Not getting caught up again - no time.

I'm going to go on a tour of a surface water treatment plant today and get some ideas for when we start building ours.

@NanoSteam how are the new fish doing this morning?

Foxface is out from hiding today and very active, I feel bad it looks cramped now ☹️ but it ate some emerald entree and even nori yesterday.

Hawkfish hasnt really moved much from its spot so I'm hopeful it'll accept some brine or mysis today.

You are building it for the community smorgasbord tank, right?
 
Good morning, Smorgsters!

Make it a day that, when looked back at, you can say, "I lived well that day!"
Misread your message, luckily some friends were around

Big John and I went down to the pier today. I know you like the water, so I got you a few pics.

What a change for just 2.5 hours!

It is, if I drive about 35 miles I can get to the ocean and experience weather 15 degrees cooler 😂
