Sadly these guys have very little music out there. All I can find are a couple of LPS
Fuzzy, groovy, awesome freak beat, early metal!

Cats are so entertaining . Our poor kitty is baffling the vets with her ears. No mites Treated for yeast. Has some black gunk in them. She is miserable. Going to have her take a little nap so they can get a better look inside. Two vets have looked at her.

Good luck. I hope it isn’t anything too serious.

You're one too Steve!? Im a Gemini, no wonder we are straight up boys! Sorry, my south mouth got in the way there. I mean we're men, but we're friends.

My wife was Gemini lol

Us Libras rock! But not around the clock anymore. Gotten too old for that .

I still try though. Getting to old to be crawling around working on wood floors that's for sure. Picked out my own birthday gift. Great for a little light reading.

Are you totally replacing water changes with it. Or as a supplement?

We do rock.

Loved it. I really like pajama cardinals. Might give one a try. The clinic had a large one.

She was my cycle fish! That is the hardest little fish and she is always out popping pods off the glass! 10/10 recommend.

As for the NSW, I was doing two 10 gallon changes on my 40 gallon tank every two weeks with the salt mix. (Aquavitro Salintiy) I do biweekly 5 gallon changes with the NSW. It will, of course switch me over to a completely NSW tank if I keep doing that. If my math is correct, I'm close to a 100% swap now. My nutrients went down so fast it blew my mind. Im at the point where Im about to start dosing nitrates in the form of ammonium bicarbonate.

It can absolutely be treated as a dosing rather than a total swap, though.

Thanks. She means everything to Rocky. She goes back Wednesday morning. They spend every morning and evening together. I think I am a little jealous of her.

I still have yet to read a book book my folks got me years ago from my favorite paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. Called The Structure of Evolutionary Theory. Was thrilled to get it but it’s huge and intimidating. I’ll try once again sometime in the near future

I will try a 50/50 swap at first. I dose for nitrates also. I might wait until they are higher before trying this. I have had trouble getting them detectable. Finally are. I split the dose up to twice daily. 10 ml total daily. Or I can use the NSW saltwater and continue to dose the ammonium bicarbonate for the nitrate.

Well I have a wonderful surprise coming tomorrow. Rock is sending me some frags of his amazing corals! He saw everything I lost and decided to help me fill it back up. What a friend, I love this guy!
The package arrives tomorrow, and I'll have some awesome pics for you guys. :)

Thank you @Rocks reef

Yes I think ammonia bicarbonate and urea are the way to go. The corals metabolize them much easier, and you can adjust the dose to almost the .5 ppm of N03 yield. It's just a more efficient nutrient than your standard nitrate.

Pick a time of day to read for 10 minutes and see where that goes. I have a few books that I need to also.

That is so nice.

Most of the material from I’ve read was for an audience not necessarily well versed in paleontology and evolutionary theory and was, well, easier to digest. I’ve read most of his published material but this last is important because it’s the cu ln mutation of his life’s work. He was the head of paleontology at Harvard university, died early from cancer at 60 odd yrs . Incredible individual . If you like reading about science and how it connects to the rest of ourselves you should look him up.

I researched for a week to come to this same conclusion years ago. Where were you hiding?

It might blow my mind up. Sometimes I wait for the movie.

Start with his first books. Meant for intelligent consumption but are easy reads. The chapters are from essays he wrote to the science journal and are designed with the layperson in mind.
Hens teeth and Horses Toes
The Pandas Thumb
Those are good jump off points. There’s a few more in that series but those are good easy to digest starters.

That's my wheelhouse for sure. Im love historical science that still applies today. I think that's why I love older music so much.
