Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

I am thinking about shutting the puddle down, there was a good 60 seconds of maintenance required today, not sure I can keep up with the demands! ;)

Gatorade to replace electrolytes. Maybe a CamelBak for hands free hydration?

 

[Katrina71]

I'm struggling at the moment. I hope y'all will give me some time to catch up. Friday and Saturday were incredibly stressful for me personally. In addition to my mom's situation, my husband is sick. I'd rather not go into detail, but the appointment on Friday that was supposed to be just for a referral, and something else was discovered. A growth on his thyroid as well as his pituitary gland. To top it off, Hippie kid might need surgery or braces for his feet. Lastly, the hurtful thread. I've had some restless nights and long days. Forgive the ramble. XXOO

This is my peaceful place. The place where I come to just be me. Mom, friend, and reefer.

Hugs. I'm only 5 hours away, if needed.

So now what do we do with this thread? Do we put it to rest with the Miracle? Do we continue and make the Miracle thread all stiff upper lipped? Do we just include the Miracle here? I know how I feel, but what about y'all?

 

[najer]

Leave this as it is and do a miracle build thread is my opinion. :)

Best wishes for your mom and hubby.
It's hard for me to express how sad I feel for you and your loved ones.
When I feel down, I remember I reef, it helps a lot.

I say you do what ever you want... every successful person has haters... you know what we say about haters? F*** um.

A new hang out spot or the old faithful we will still get to together. Your choice

 

[najer]

You know those moments you spot a change in the tank that only you would spot?
This is my pastel chalice and the only time it shows the red mouths is when it is happy.
I thought I saw a hint of colour a couple of days ago.
This made me smile! :)

Thank you. I am an old salt. Used to DIY way more than I do now. I even made a square skimmer out of glass many years ago. LOL! I like building stuff. Maybe I will have more time for projects when I retire - next week! ;)

 

[LadyMac]

Thanks y’all! My daughter came to visit so it was great!
@Katrina71, this thread of yours is amazing. I say do what ya want, either way I’m going to follow the miracle build, so where you put it is up to you. And I’ll be drinking my coffee reading up no matter where it sits.

 

[Lowell Lemon]

Prayers for you, your mom, Andrew, and your husband. I just don't know what else to say except there is a whole group of people pulling for you and wishing y'all well! Pray you have a much better day today!

 

[TheShrimpNibbler]

I’ll be keeping you in mind Katrina. I hope things work out with you husband, mom, and Andrew. Do whatever you want with this thread or a new one. We’re all here because of you, and we still will be, no matter what you decide.
