I've been offered a new job, working for the local bread company.
It's a huge cut in pay but a completely zen change of lifestyle for me.
No more cooking.
No more stress.
I'm going to take the job, see how it goes.
Also, more time with you guys as well!!

My daughter just accepted a job at a Crumbl Cookie out here! She got a "Baker" position.

Making dough to make some dough
 
Would be fine but might take awhile until you see results John.
I bought the same one's as you did and boom, gone in no time, but maybe too fast as they ran out of food pretty quickly.
If I were to do it again I'd definitely try the small route.
I'd also clean every inch of every overflow, sump, heater etc when I noticed the aiptasia was gone.
Once the nudis starve, that's it.
That's where I blew it the first time.
Now with the butterflies 🦋, I have nothing but gsp and a few shrooms left.
Not suggesting that route for any coral lovers out there lol 😆
Great advice Joel! I am definitely intrigued by that swarm of berghia. I am so glad yours has been defeated. What a cool little fish.

It's actually a merchandiser position, driving from store to store, stocking shelves, etc.
Me, myself and I...

Great stuff Tim. Most young adults dont even want to put away their own laundry. Best of luck to her!

Great news Joel! There's no price to be put on peace of mind! Ill be sending you the best vibes, and checking in with you.

 
Interesting. I wonder if the new management is better than previous? I live in the desert and received an order of two "froze to death" fish in the middle of the summer. They took cold packs and placed the bags directly in contact with the cold packs - no insulation between the two. Water temperature was around 50° and it was 115° outside that afternoon. They were also only in a foil bag inside a box with shredded newspaper...
Not sure. I am still on the fence. He had also ordered some crabs. They refunded us for them. If I would have only received crabs! No pun intended. But I would have been upset. He would not have only ordered crabs!

Packaged well. Cold pack included. Fish is eating.. Sad part is I was just acclimating 3 Petco fish to the tank I set up just in case the pyramid showed up! Thank goodness they were almost identical.
 
Here’s a comparison from March compared to now
