Luckily, I grew up around mechanics and machinists so we can fix it. There is no way, given the damage we could ever afford to pay for it to be done, besides, I highly doubt the car would be worth the cost.
That too, but mostly nobody got hurt.

I'm a total stranger to them, but I'm proud of both of your boys! :) Our kids really feel like an extended reef family.

Absolutely!

I love hippie kid too. You did good.

Yes, it's a fixer upper. Pretty much all the W123 cars available are. But they are so worth it. 330K miles and the engine is just broken in. The highest mileage cars in the world are W123 taxis. It is very common to get a million or more miles from them.

Lucky kid. Was he shaken up? Glad he was okay and you found a parts vehicle.

Not really bad. More upset about the damage. He's so proud of his car.

The guy we are buying the parts car from offered to deliver it just a bit ago. Very happy about that.

We are going to go pay for it in about an hour. I have to find a paella pan first. LOL!

OK so I have to give a BIG shout out to Frank from Frank's Tanks!

His f-aiptaisia is great stuff! You can watch it coat even very large aiptasia and kill them.

I had 6 or so big ones. Covered them up and watched them go. Been a few days and they are not back.

Long term, I expect them to stay gone. Word of caution: IF you have aiptasia in your zoas, be prepared to lose the ones right next to the aiptasia. But, you were about to lose them anyway.

I won't sell something in the store (once it's open) that I wouldn't use myself. I am going to carry this product and recommend it for sure.

So, if you have demon spawn known as glass anemones or aiptasia, get f-aiptasia it is amazing stuff!

I used a whole bottle in my tank but missed a few. I need to get another bottle to get the stragglers that I missed. So far, none have returned :)

I can attest... yesterday at his house he flicked the bottle and it was bone dry.

Got more letters today!

He seems like he is doing very well.

I got to talk to him for two minutes yesterday about a banking issue and that's all. :(

But, I am thankful for letters.

The 93 seems to have bounced back from the pH issue but none of the SPS survived it.

I got my storefront!

3500 square feet!

I start working on it August 1st. STOKED!
