The Full Super Blue Moon glowing blood red as it rises above the Ohio River. Shot Monday night from Fort Massac Park in Metropolis, Southern IL.
I knew a girl from Metropolis when I went to SIU. She was a real life Jessica Rabbit, before Jessica Rabbit even existed...

That was the start of my saltwater addiction. In my small college apartment, I had eleven tanks. I had a friend in Murphy that had a LFS in his dads Ace hardware store's basement. He would get busted tanks from the local distributor for cheap and we would fix them using glass we got upstairs.
I wonder if that place is still around...
I wonder if Murphy's "Big Muddy Monster" is still alive....
I wonder if the Hangar is still selling $5 pitchers....
Now I am just reliving my youth....

I wonder if the Coyote is still there, and the pub in the basement across from the train station... ;) :)

Sucks about the shrimp. Can't wait to see what you get.

How is your supply of purple lid buckets? May need to buy 1 or 2 off of you if you have an abundance. Salt prices online are killing me.

I switched to table salt. So many more uses!

Thanks, I'm using them for the baby clown grow out, its the only system that requires regular water changes. Need to get you a dozen of these clowns before I liquidate the rest. Time for a new batch. The parents laid the largest clutch of eggs they ever have the other day.

Sometime soon I would imagine. Would be nice to coordinate with when you get your other fish. Saves us all a little effort. ;)

Here’s a phone photo night shot tip. See the blue dot below the moon. Make sure the dot is in the center of what you’re photographig. That’s what it’s intended for
