Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Sorry, I've been busy. Making deals and working on the printer and going to the bowling alley and getting petrol in the truck. Now it's dinner and a movie.
Ya, I get it, you left out taking care of your injured pup, I hope she is doing better. What’s the movie?

My daughter made pasta and sausage, thank you for asking.

We're watching a movie called The Shift. It's an interesting one so far.

The pup is good. She let it bother her for about 2 seconds. The swelling and nearness to her eye made us concerned (and rightly so).
 
I think when you get to a certain age you don't sleep well anymore. or at least not long. its more like power naps.
What's sleep?

I can relate very strongly to that statement. Lol
What's sleep?

Anyone else that's interested in entering, this is the final week. Thursday is the main drawing for a Clearview Lid! There's 3 or 4 big prizes including a Plank Auto feeder, Tunze Orca, and something else I think...
Hey, how about you shut your mouth.

Oh, wait, I would rather have the Orca. If I win the lid and a Smorgster wins the Orca, maybe I can make a trade.

Supposed to be 2 weeks in a cone. It lasted 6 hours or so
Mine usually only last for an hour, or so.

Different Steven. He used to be on here every day and then POOF! He was gone and hasn't been seen since.

I'd trade the Orca for the lid. The lid is the only thing I need. 😂

I'm hoping to sell a few more Zoas and then I'll buy a lid. Gotta pay the puppy bill first. 😬
 
ouch. im sorry. sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. i had to run one of ours in for an ultrasound. during business hours but as an urgent appointment. cost me over $600.😩 (and of course, she was fine)

Our bill only ended up being $1500.
