5 frames scraped 4 to go. Will let these 5 drain for a couple days. Then they will get strained and bottled. Hopefully can get them sent out first thing next week. @Lost in the Sauce @tbrown3589 @New&no clue pm me your mailing address if you want some. Should have plenty to go around.

I share too.
Old honest Ab's tombs.
First tomb.

Where he was moved later on in death.

Never gets old seeing the old structures here being well kept. Sadly, the rest of Springfield is falling apart, burning up, or being plowed down.

I love visiting cities with old architecture.

I especially love old churches and walking through the attached graveyards.
We have a great old cemetery called Lake View.
One of its most famous inhabitants is Elliot Ness.

So we are deliberating today. Fun. Hopefully they will have a verdict quickly. I am only an alternate so I really don't know if I will get to be a part of any of that or not. We shall see.
Tank news is just as fun. I get to find out this weekend if I have dinos and if so get all the stuff to fight them. I found a really good thread on here to use to confirm, diagnose and treat. It's your standard brown snot with little bubbles at the ends. So that is the fun for the weekend. At least I will get my dogs back tonight. I have missed them.

The reason for the 2 thumbs up. The rest is... :(
If you want a thread on treating dinos with metroplex in a reef. I can link it for you
Uh oh do you have experience with the little monsters? I have to do the coffee filter test first and then break out the microscope. We should know more then.

I am sure I have had them. They come and go and rinse and repeat. Same with cyano. My worst situation on cyano was dealt with by a molly miller blenny. Dino's, fortunately I never had to go into battle with.

However, there is this thread. Should it be dinos and you feel like reading some other methods.

Thank you so much. Knowledge is power and the more I have the better. Digging through r2r for good info can be hard sometimes so this will definately help.

Oh no! I had Dinos for a while. I beat them with a UV sterilizer and a 3-day blackout. my specific type was Prorocentrum.

While the blackout was happening and the UV was running, I sucked as much of it out as possible into a large filter sock and then added the water back in.

Good to know I will be researching uv units today then just in case. I have been increasing the light intensity and that may have triggered it. I also noticed that my filter socks are getting dirtier quicker. I jave to ask if that is a kids toilet seat though?

Keep in mind that they say UV can make some meds not work. I know most people don't usually medicate the DT, but just something to keep in mind. Make it easy to unplug or turn off in case medications are needed.

Good info as well.
I am really hoping it's not dino's. But whatever it is will have to wait till after the weekend is over. That will give ne time to look into things a bit more and decompress. I need to build up my positive energy battery. The last 3 days have put me on empty. Good news is the court stuff is over and I'm back with all my fur babies.
Final set of pix from my adventures.

Seriously every ceiling had something like this. This is the entryway in the original Higbees building downtown.
Best for last though. The original cuyahoga county courthouse.

All solid carved marble. The whole building. It echoed like you would not believe. You could feel the weight of the building when you were in it.

That's pretty amazing. The old Los Angeles stock exchange building is currently being operated by a music venue. I've been to a few shows there and the amount of marble is incredible. The joints are so tight in places. You probably couldn't get a piece of paper between them. Crazy craftmanship.

The carving is what gets me everytime. So perfect and clean. I don't know if it was all done by hand but I would have to assume some was. It's even in places you would never look like under the stairs.

All of our mints for the dollar and coins were done by hand. 1 screw up, start from scratch. I don't know about todays mint plates.

That's one place I didn't get to. The federal reserve building. I guess you can see all the shredded money. I think I would cry.
