See Amanda, your reaction is why I refrained. Plus, my wife would read it somehow and I'd be sleeping in the Lazy Boy

Yeah My plan was to just get the Battle corals but when I won the Top Shelf Aquatics free frag pack I felt bad if I did not purchase any corals in the sale lol. I glad I did though since they included some really nice pieces.

Not even sure what that means. I also have the $250 cream coral gift card I have not used yet too lol

Bro... $5 tickets is the only reason I go to the Opera. That way, when we decide we're done, we can get up and walk out.


To be honest, we've only left 1 early and it was a horrible experience. We weren't the first and definitely weren't the last. AI Opera which wasn't advertised as AI.
 
He forgot that you're single.

Oh I get it, he thinks that since I spent so much money on corals I will be sleeping on the couch! 🤣

Fish are doing great! I ran out but I got a bunch of single use Walgreens super glue gel packs now. Some may need to be reseated and glued down again but most are placed.
