@kevgib67 Good Morning Kevin! How’re you doing?

Good morning Steve, thanks, I’m doing better after sleeping for nearly 24 hours thanks to the help of morphine. I was over hydrated again shooting my BP through the roof causing severe head pain and vomiting. They took care of both with meds and stopped the IV. Trying to catch up.

Let’s hope this situation gets resolved soon for you.

I’ve done the 24 hr nap attack myself a few times. Didn’t need morphine though. One of the times was when I did 4 evening/ night doubles in a row. After I got home after the last one I crashed hard until the next day. My roommate wasn’t happy with though. She found her cat wandering the hallway outside the apartment cause I forgot to close it.
 
Well, the party is over, I’m here! Thanks for all the well wishes!

By the way I saw what happened to Ohio State. Sorry.
 
@ShakeyGizzard So sorry about the fire, so happy it wasn’t worse. I love the song but agree, I can’t stand the artist, I hope this isn’t to soon but it popped into my head when reading about your house fire.

Morning Kevin !
It’s funny but one day and we knew something was wrong . Glad to have you back !
 
Way better CB! The sea hare is an algae eating machine just like Kevin said it would be. The aiptasia is gone. I even noticed some of the beghia made it into the back chambers of my AIO. I've been slowly switching my system to natural saltwater and it has made such a difference. Whatever was going on in my tank in a biological level is turning around since the water swap. Im getting some better color in corals. I lost quite a but of nice stuff, but it's looking up in there! Thanks for asking.
Morning John ! , so glad you have turned the corner on your tank issues . Sorry for your loss but I’m sure you’ll have a super tank again soon .

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine
