Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I am on her side. Only have one back. Take it easy. We need you here.
Well, her brother unloaded it from the truck and put it in place. All I did was change the fuse (upgraded the water heater) and helped slightly with the wiring and a little on the plumbing. No heavy lifting yesterday or today.
 
Did you call the doctor? They should be able to do scans to check for stones I think.
Not yet. I've been in meetings and Cinco de Mayo pot luck all day.

Calling him tomorrow and maybe calling the PT office.
 
I have 3 goni's, same age, same size when purchased, roughly the same flow, but one seems to like it better than the other, well the yellow one is kind of in-between.

toward the top in the back, the left one is actually blue (filter kills it)

The problem is, flat on my back and I'm stuck. And spasms keep me from sitting up from laying flat. At least on my side I could roll my legs off the couch and sit up through the pain.
gabapentin?
 
Beautiful my friend!
its noisy, I have my return hose off my filter roller, had a huge clump of salt on the side of my filter roller, it seems to come from my emergency over flow trickle splashing on the return overflow hose
 
would have to order some, the petco in my area only stocks the basic SW stuff
You'll love their utility and I think they look great amongst the corals. No worries with these little guys Jimmy.
 
I like them better than hermits, honestly. Here are some cleaning out a trochus that was already dead.

I'm definitely getting some, the vermitids are not a problem (thanks to me) but always happy to to hire some help
 
Well, it's been a long day so sorry for the super late reply BUT my back actually feels decent HOWEVER I am back to being fairly certain it is a possible kidney stone. The majority of my lower back pain and spasms have subsided except for the right side, lower back, just about waist height, an inch or so from the spine...
Man that's no good brother, but the sooner they can narrow it down, the sooner you get a plan for recovery man.
