FB page getting a major update this week. Sherry has taken over as my social media person and will do a much better job than I.

So with everything going on, I have been just kind of observing and not doing much on the 93 cube at home.

My son noticed last night the glass is very clean and I realized I hadn't cleaned the glass in 3 weeks! After a while, if you keep light from being directly aimed at the glass, things balance out and I find myself cleaning less and less.

I feed a LOT. The fish are fat and happy and the corals all have good color.

I still change the socks every few days and empty the skimmer on Sunday. (It's completely full at that point). I fill the ATO container 3 times in two weeks so evaporation is right at 2.5 quarts per day.

I plan on doing to testing this weekend just for giggles but it's not necessary at this point.

I will also say that, since switching my pellet food to reef nutrition and Sustainable Aquatics and adding in frozen, there is a lot less skimmate and it absolutely reeks! This to me is a sign of a good food: colorful, healthy fish and less waste and what is there is nasty.

So tomorrow is the day to pick up the glass for the sides of the frag tables and the 12 foot aquarium. Uhaul is reserved and help is scheduled.

I am excited!

I picked up all the lumber for the pool platform tonight and the mdf for the top of the 8 foot stands. Moving all that stuff by myself wasn't easy. I remember 20 years ago that stuff was a LOT lighter. I wonder why they started making building materials so much heavier. ;Wacky

I would volunteer my boys to help with the tanks, but this football game will probably have them wore out. Halftime and we are up 59 to 12. They did not like losing last week.

Awesome!

Sounds like they are out for revenge!

We are all freshman right now, so that’s awesome. They get some needed game time. We haven’t scored again, but they haven’t either.
