Good Morning!

Thanks to you all. It's been a rough day. I see my sweet girl everywhere. I caught my husband out in the garage shedding a few tears. I asked him what he was doing....looking at pictures of her. Nope, I can't do that yet. It will get better. :)

We're already planning a road trip this weekend to Nashville. @Mike from TN, are you heading to that critter place this weekend??
Unfortunately, we will be out of town this weekend. It would be great to meet up with you sometime.
Were spending the weekend in the Smokies. A much needed, although short getaway for me.
 
Perhaps I could hire someone to bop me on the head when I wake in the middle of the night.

Down to 2 hours at night. I took 2 naps yesterday, morning and afternoon.
My butt is really dragging.

you remind me of this motorcycle i inherited. i have thought i had it a new home three times now but the people backed out for various reasons. now i will probably keep it until i learn how to ride it. i want the room in my garage freed up but perhaps it is best where it is.
Truly hope that is not the case. I can't keep two tanks running and I have no desire for an empty tank in my living room. I did check local prices on Offer Up and I was asking way less than anyone else. Truly, if I can get enough to swing a little AIO for Leo to just live in my office, I'd be happy.

I feel you. It's a conundrum, you are desperate for sleep but your condition forces you to get up .... which just makes your health worse and you are more desperate for sleep. At least we all have each other for support. Sending HUGS.

True - unfortunately, it's not the shark bites you need to worry about.

It's okay. I went back to bed at 5:30. Slept like a log. A rotten one.
I cleaned up some stuff in the garage and mixed some 2 part for the doser. It was a productive night shift.

I forgot you were going to Gatlingburg and going across THAT BRIDGE :eek:! You have a great time. Our visit will be short anyway, so I'm not sure we'll make it to the fish/critter store. We're just staying one night this time. There will be many more trips to come!
 
I put a Melanurus wrasse In the big tank. When I released it it darted behind the rocks like a rocket. It showed up out front eating the LRS normally for 30 minutes 5 days later. Then 7 days after that I saw it again. Yesterday was the 3rd time after 6 more days. It looks great.
Is this what they do?
 
Good morning. I'm feeling a little better this morning. Looking forward to a quick trip this weekend to see more cute grands. The youngest is just over a month old and is changing so fast! I randomly decided to take tomorrow off "just because" and I'm so glad I did now. I need it!

I hope you all have a great Thursday. My new BioCube arrivals should be here this morning, so we will explain acclimation to a 2-year-old. Should be entertaining! ;Joyful

Do you have a sand bed? I had one in my other tank and he dove into the sand at exactly the same time each evening like clockwork. At first, it would be days before he would come out. It became our nightly ritual, to watch the M. wrasse do his circling thing and then dive into the sand. I had him for several years. Cool fish. I would love another one, but it's either the M. wrasse or the ornamental shrimp. I decided on this shrimp, mainly because the kids love the "shlimp."

The 240 has crushed coral in the bottom. It's pretty course but Ripclean can process it in his mouth.
He has made a difference. It looks much better.

Don't be surprised if you see the M. wrasse take a nosedive into the crushed coral! Also, good thing you have a lid. They are jumpers! Mine could make a huge splash when he went airborne.
 
Good morning everybody!

Good morning everyone. Been stuck in bed a lot and bored because I tore something in my hip. I'm off to meet a potential surgeon today. Yay - fun stuff. If I'm lucky, I'll get some of that, "Does it hurt a lot when I push here? How badly does it hurt when I do this other thing?"
 
@Peace River If you are going to call me out as an expert I need more of those badge things to give what I reply some gravitas. Something like "Super Cook" "Dog Dad" "Cat Scratcher" "Fish Kook" or "Opinions Free".
