Good morning everyone! Hope you have a great Saturday!

Morning snuggles with my old man Tiny... he doesn't ask for snuggles often but every now and then he does this. I am out of coffee but i don't want to move him so coffee will have to wait because when your oldest dog (he's around 17 yrs old) decides to snuggle you don't move him unless its an emergency.

No fun stuff other than a trip to the lfs to get coral epoxy. My legs cramped over and over last night and they are very sore.
 
So my decision was to keep light get a slightly bigger tank.

I like my 36" cube but I don't think I would ever buy something that big again. I'd need something I could lift easily myself. like a .5gal pico!
 
I love my puppies... they annoy me sometimes but I can't imagine not having any of them.
mine is so well behaved and patient. you roll over and she gets all excited that you are going to feed her and just "go back to sleep" announcement and she curls back up till I'm ready.
 
it works on my knees but I think its joint and not muscle. but as long as it works.
I use it on my shoulders and elbows and knees when they ache... getting old sucks...I regret being so rough with my body when I was younger...

Tara my biggest dog that sleeps in the bedroom is like that as long as she doesn't have to go potty. She is about 60-70 pounds and has a big dog bed.

I was looking at Acrylic both with and without AIO chamber. But just couldn’t find what wanted at a price I was willing to pay.
I’m probably just going to keep the thread going and rename it and add “formerly blah blah tank” for the short run..
 
What corals would you guys put on a rock that has vertical space? It's near the bottom of the tank so I would think it would be lower light. I can get a picture later when the lights come on if that helps.
