What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well you weren't there they time I got ran over by a tractor, gored by a bull, runover by a gooseneck trailor, bitten by a shark while wade fishing (twice), had my left hand caught in a gators mouth for almost 15 minutes, until my partner shot it... or the time I got drunk and fell off of a boat in the Gulf of whatever they call it now, in the middle of the night, and held on to a crab float for 2 hours... im only up to about 25 years of the 42 I've been here in near death stories. When can I expect you to show up?

Good Morning Peeps. last water change I forgot to turn off the ATO as usual. 🙄
the Osmo 2 had an audible alarm, the Osmo 3 does not. I so miss that. dropped to 1.022 and for the past 5 days I shut the ATO off to slowly bring it back up. today I just got down to low enough that I was get air bubbles mixing in with the return pump. but I'm back to 1.026 so I added salt water replacement at 1.026 and balanced. turn ATO back on and it didn't dispense. found that being dry for several days had creep on the eye. washed and everything seems fine.

they totally have a gif for everything! @kingranch2003

How are you still alive? This is nuts. Take care and wear kevlar
 
Glad it's all figured out. Need an alarm or check list to trigger yourself to check it. I used to forget to turn off my RODI. Put a sticky note on kitchen cabinet. Says water. 🤣
Good morning Shelley, up early today?

Good morning! Wow, that can is still shrinking. Looks great, well done!
 
@tharbin Definitely listen to the "Dread Zeppelin" stuff tomorrow if you have a chance 🤣 👌
I did they're great and no I hadn't heard of them. I Listened to 'Jurassic Park' from Weird Al but knew the others. Only thing passed up for now is the little John Hopkins ditty, need more coffee first and I had a pretty unmemorable and frustratingly busy week in Baltimore when I was consulting for CareMark setting up a new image processing network at John Hopkins. Two more cups ought to be enough.
