He looks like someone I'd be good friends with and could probably call at midnight for help. What a beautiful couple with love in their eyes. This is the good stuff.

Yes he is that kind of guy just like I'm that kind of gal. We both love helping people when we can. He's truly one of my biggest blessings in life. We both had given up on finding love and where just looking for someone to hang out with when a mutual friend introduced us. I told myself I never wanted to love someone so completely like my momma and daddy loved each other because I seen what it did to her when she lost her other half. But then I found him and I honestly don't know what I will do if he goes before I do. We met in 2016 got married in 2017 and he's my world.

With all these soul mate posts, I have to jump in.

I met my wife in Sunday school when we were 13. She was the first girl I ever loved and it was immediate. We tried to pretend like we were just best friends for our teen years, then I let her go off to college, without telling her I loved her.

I dont have Facebook so I had no communication with her for almost 15 years. Every time I saw a full moon, or heard a certain song I'd think about her. Every time I convinced myself I was interested in someone else... I thought about her.

One night I took a date to a local place for drinks and she was there. I never thought I'd see her again, but she was there that night. I later found out she was only in town for two weeks before she planned to move to Seattle.

Do I believe in fate? You're dang right I do. I had a 2 week window before I lost her again forever and I found her. Thank God.
I wouldn't be this far, and wouldn't have my boys without this lady.

Oh my gosh what an amazing love story! You guys look so cute together!

I have had them with quite a few sps and lps. No problems so far.

As far as acclimating I go SLOW! If you get females they almost always have babies pretty quickly. The babies grow up really healthy born in saltwater. Once in the display babies seldom survive. I enjoy watching them. I have dalmation, silver and orange ones. At the clinic they get asked about the mollies all the time.

This is all I have now. Little guy went under the rock to hide. So I left him in the dark to settle.

Morning Shelley !

I went back and looked at the pictures of my collected, hurricane salt water. And I realized, it looks like absolute coffee! What the heck was I thinking? Even the gulf itself looks black

However, as soon as I dumped the water into the tank, almost every coral extended or responded positively. The scolys and dendros lost their minds!

I realize it was a bit risky, and maybe I put something in there that will pop up later, but right now the tank looks wonderful.

I have fought cyano, GHA, aiptasia, extremely high P04, and Brown jelly disease in the last 4 months alone. The tank is now free from all of those issues.

These were my methods:
Cyano: Microbacter CLEAN and Coral snow
Aiptasia: Berghia
GHA: Sea Hare. Corrected long term by using NSW for water changes
P04: NSW. That was the only change made. The volume of water changed was actually cut by 50%
BJD: Removed affected corals. I did not want to use cipro in case it would have an effect on the newly established, and hard earned microbiome

Amazing results my friend! However if your coffee looks like that you need to come here and let me make you a good cup of coffee. That at best looks like a watered down cup of tea... ROFL
