I’m bringing a couple cases of Heineken to the baby shower. You, your wife and I are going to need it. I’ve never been a godfather of 3-4 little ones before, thanks for asking, it’s such an honor!
You're talking about dogs arent you?
 
oh S%*t...someone needs to remind Tiger that tigers can't drive lol..
Never seems to add up, people with that kinda of cash always refuse to hire a driver...WHY?
He could drive back in the 90s

I have plenty of tanks to feed so I don't think I will have any problem of having too many...
Im not so sure. Maybe if you hatch once a month 😆
 
Good morning Smorgs!!

Morning coffee view. I haven’t figured out how to get rid the reflections. I may have to wait until the sun sets and then turn tank lights back on.

Looks amazing even with the glare!!! I have to wait until dark as well to get pictures without a glare because of windows and doors.
 
Went and saw George Thorogood and the Destroyers last night. For being 76, he killed it! His guitar skills are phenomenal.

Good morning Rock. I didn't know that Rosie O'Donnell and Katharine Hepburn were in the band!!
 
I plan to pop over to PetSmart and pick up a 1-gallon or so Beta tank. Some of the shrimp will be feed as nauplii directly to the tanks and others will go into the Beta tank for grow out. They will be feed the Spirulina powder and then Phyto-Feast. Scoops of Phyto/Shrimp will be feed to the display tank. At some point I'd like to raise phyto and copepods but right now I just want some supplemental live food.
I also want to eventually grow my own phytoplankton and copepods!

Good idea. My wife have me her 3 gallon bow front and I already have a little air pump. I really want to grow some out too. When I added the first batch nauplil to the tank there were just so many, I figured it would take 5 years for my fish to eat them all lol.
 
These will be going in the end of next month, I think at least one will look familiar to you. I got them from a guy down south who wanted to stay anonymous, cough John cough!

Oh yeah you got some of the spicy little decorative ones! All of these pepper plants are beautiful and hopefully tasty! Good luck with everything Kevin
 
Good morning Bailey, I hope today is a better day for you and your stomach!

Much better today! I think it was super spicy Siracha sauce I was using just jacked me up, haha

I seen him back in the early 90's
 
I ordered the powder with the kit. I'll let you know how it works out. Glad it is working well for you.
Are you going to put yours on a heating pad as well? Just curious if the hatch yield would be the same if not kept warm. I placed the order for mine today. I thought I placed it yesterday but I must have gotten sidetracked and didn't finish checking out.
