I have the app and still don't get notifications on the build threads for some reason.
That I admit I have problem with as well. It’s very sporadic still

I get them from here pretty regularly for the most part and I get them if someone starts a new thread in the nano section that I follow and if someone tags me but that's about it.

Yah, I get all the alerts from here, from people quoting me else where and from my threads I’ve started but that’s it unless I’ve recently visited another tank thread recently
 
I saw. My fault for ignoring the thread while having dinner. Nice chunky torches. Raises em right.
You know what Steve, I saw where he can cut a head off one of the three heads, I can take two or one for that matter. If not you can have mine. I have 8.
 
I need to rearrange my gonis, my pink is being crowded out. They are growing like crazy!

Those pink ones would bring a mint! It's hard to find those true pink gonis like that
 
So….
Here is a before pic. Look at the flesh bands on this torch!! They cover most of the skeleton. It is super healthy. I feed powered foods daily and it shows.
Then the three “frags”….

What brands/types of food? Asking for a friend. 🙂
 
Just what it says. It makes a scraping noise when it hits a curb so that, hopefully, you don't run your paintwork or tires into the curb.
I'm sorry I tried to resist, but this conversation reminds me of an old (POORLY aged) commercial 😅
I (lightly) apologize in advance

 
@kingranch2003 , here’s the plate you were asking about John.

Oh it looks good Kevin!
Low flow and powder foods, frozen rotifers will work great right now. I like the rotifers or BBS for the unhappy plates, because they don't draw cuc as much as pellets or mysiss. I like its chances Kevin!
 
Phew! I'm glad we got that torch thing settled. This was Kevin and Amanda fighting relentlessly over who got first pick.

Ya and Ohio has better barbecue sauce than North Carolina!

Oh, wow thanks Kev. I don’t care what everyone else thinks. You’re a good guy to me. 🙃
