My wife will kill me if it leaks 525 gallons

[Jubei2006]

Thanks! The Solar wrasse has taken to chasing my Bluethroat. The bluethroat is a little bigger right now so hopefully it doesn't escalate much. My wife loves wrasses, and TSM has a beautiful Melanarus, but I also want to keep a pair of Mandarins long term. So not getting one because of the competition for pods. Still looking at getting a Linateus or Rhomboid wrasse though. Love my Magnificent, one of my dream fish.

Happy Friday!

That beast wont leak more like a flood.

Happy Friday! No big changes, just going through the uglies in the sand right now.

Thanks have had them for about a month or so. Got them from TSM as well, their orange oxides are going really well in the tank.

Just happened upon this build. This is one of my favorite tanks I've seen I think. I'd love to have something like this someday. Following along! Happy Friday!

Thanks for the kind words! It's coming along slowly (takes forever to aquire my must haves, and then to quarantine and grow up). Oh well it's the journey right?

So sad to hear about the passing of Matt Ferroni from TSM Aquatics. One of the nicest people I have done business with in the 20 some odd years Ive been in the hobby. My condolences and wish all the best to him and his family.

I find out my favorite tetris player passed about a few months ago and this all in one night. It never ends.

I hope his family gets the help they asked for. This is never easy.

This has been a crappy year or two, two relatives dead from covid, wife's mom died last month from sepsis and kidney failure, and my favorite dog died 3 months ago. I know stuff happens but dang, seems the last 2 years have really piled it on.

 

[Goaway]

Yuh, it has. I didn't exactly have the best of the start of the year either. We have to carry on. I miscarried and my husband lost his old dog to cancer, all on the same night. I do my best not to think about. Distraction is all I have.

We went through a miscarriage as well, it really sucks, but we have 4 healthy kids now. So it'll work out. But yes staying busy doesnt cure the pain, but it can definitely take your mind off it.

That's all we can do. Just keep fighting and moving on and not get consumed by the pain.

Glad to see the tank is looking good, though I am waiting for my next ugly phase to kick in.

Holidays are around the corner. More reasons to be busy I do hope they go well for you and yours

Your next ugly phase? You've gotten through the bad one, shouldn't really see much of another one unless you change something or dont stay on top of equipment and such. Thats the only times Ive had issues.

Hopefully the Holidays will be better, gonna smoke some ducks and cook some ostrich for Thanksgiving (we gave up on traditional turkeys awhile back) So trying something new this year. Always uave bird of some sorts, but it's been Turducken the last few years. So we are changing it up.

Christmas will be in Puerto Rico as we are taking my wife's mom home to have her ashes scattered on the island. So sad occasion, but a least we get a taste of salt air and warm ocean water.

Hope you guys have a great Holiday season as well. Sure we'll see each other on here in the meantime!
