What's going on Kev? Looks like you've got some RODI tubes there and a doser.
Hey Doc, I woke up and my body was a reef tank . Doctor says you know the adage “you are what you eat” well studies have found the more you get into a hobby the more your body adapts to it …

This post probably won't matter to anyone but me but I'm kind of happy. Posting about 'Grand Prix' the other day and then 'How the West was Won' made me think about the old Palace Theater in Playhouse Square in Cleveland. It was a majestic (I can't think of a better word) theater in the downtown area. It was where I saw both of those movies and the Cream/Canned Heat concert. It is still there and has been renovated. I'm glad, you don't see many places like that anymore. Here is a shot of most ot the seating.

That is absolutely majestic Tom! What a great experience! That place is beautiful
 
Hit PetCo. Shockers , the good manager was still there. Fish were still pretty scarce. But I got I nice juvenile Clarkii pair and striped fang blennie . Also picked up a good sized Goni for a song and a small Duncan frag to replace the one that died a few months ago. This is the Goni . 50 bucks only.

Good score!
 
I need to edit my reminisce as apparently my memory is toast. I looked at the photos again and realized that was not where I saw Cream/Canned Heat. The Palace was set up for Cinerama and couldn't do live performances any longer. The concert was at the Music Hall.

His alkalinity is running a little low so they're trying to pump some kalk in.
 
are we replenishing from the lettuce dehydrating incident or something more?

Really haven’t felt good since the lettuce thing but over the past 10 days I’ve been feeling progressively worse.. I messaged my NP Friday about getting bloodwork called in but she was out. Got the blood work done and I’m anemic and my kidney function was worse it’s been yet. Just found out I’m being admitted!😡
