Rocks, covered in aiptasia.
I let them sit in a bucket of RO water for 24 hours then spray them off.
Works great.
Only thing I know to help...

I'm glad you have found something that's helping!
 
I went see a chiropractor . A good one ☝️ . The first time was scary because I wasn’t sure how or what was going to happen but now it’s like the thing to do . Have you ever been ?
Many times.
 
Pretty gnarly...

You are more brave than I am sir. If my wife saw buckets sitting on our hardwood floors without a towel under them.... let's just say I'd be wearing dark sunglasses and coverup makeup!
 
Good afternoon Smorgs... morning for some of you farther West. Really cruddy morning so far, we had an "update" over the weekend and I come in to work and my computer won't connect to the internet.... it took almost 4 hours to get it working. I had to reschedule several of my patients since I couldn't even open their charts. So much for "improvement update".
 
Good morning everyone!

Good morning John! I was just thinking, it’s been a while since you took me out for dinner and/or dancing but this flower makes up for it!

Never heard of them, what are they and what do they do?
 
He hasn’t been here for a while , what did you expect . I’m not perfect 👌
No big deal Karen, just try harder! Are we asking too much?
 
Came into work, one new face. Last week one was fired and one quit. Then the office manager came in stating he took another position and won’t be working here. I 19 patients scheduled the first hour but thankfully one rescheduled, hoping for a better afternoon.

Still think the right aptasia eating peppermint shrimp would help. I had it bad and within a one month I saw day light . Not only did it get rid of them they kept them from coming back and now I haven’t had the shrimp for about four years and the aptasia still hasn’t come back .
