Us too!

BTW, wait until he gets to high school. Tim's first semester fees this year: $387 and that's not counting his year book, photos and ad in the year book.

It will total over $1000 for the year with graduation fees.

Wow. Crap. Wow.

Now imagine for three years I had TWO in high school at the same time!

:eek: ;Jawdrop ;Wideyed

@dantimdad any places you'd suggest stopping on the way down? I'm letting Andrew decide.

AND Daniel was in band so that was another $750 a year plus his band trip every year and dry cleaning 8 times. I had zero help from his other parent.

What time are you guys leaving? (CST) That will determine what you stop at.

No offense, but he had no other parent. Just an egg donor.

Microbacter is a great product!

I usually don't use "Bio in a bottle" products by did it on a hunch it would help out with an issue I was having. It worked perfectly.

Love to hear that, I've been reading of success with microbacter 7.
Even had someone tell me they'll always use it as long as he's reefing.
Right now I'm doing the new start up tank dosage..about 10ml/day for 2 weeks.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm gonna dose a hard seltzer later. Wanna try it.

That toadstool is soooo pretty.

Thanks, I love it, they are the only 3 corals to survive the overnight pump being off incident. The Duncan is still struggling even with stable parameters but it's still hanging around. The Acan has actually recently turned a corner and is growing a couple new heads. The toadstool just kept on trucking after what happened with only a few angry looking days.

I tried dr. tim's ammonia with microbacter and couldn't get a decent cycle. So I went to parson's non-sudsy ammonia and microbacter and it kickstarted after that.

Lol! I remember those days of having hair. I miss having it sometimes, but the other 99 percent of the time its so nice to just roll out of bed, brush my teeth, get dressed, and get the little one out the door to start the day. No brushing my hair and no gel to make my hands sticky for the next hour. The upside of male pattern baldness.

I dont like hearing that. I am planning on trying live rock enhance to try to knock out my dinos that are on the ropes and about to get K.O'ed. I hope its not a waste of $25.

I used the same ammonia with Nite-out bacteria and it didnt seem to hasten the initial cycle.

I think the Dr. Tim's is just a weak solution of ammonia. It's possible you could double or even triple the dosage but I didn't want to do that. I just dug out an old school book and followed the amount listed for parson's and it worked like a charm.

BTW, what's everyone's thoughts on doing a lending library at the store and just having folks put a deposit on the book? No fees for a two week checkout.

I have quite a few books and it seems I am always referring to them.
