CBB is so elegant. Nice shot with all the fish in the FTS.

Good evening friends. Not much going on except the Mandarin has made a few appearances but never is the camera ready when he is up front. I added some more pods with lights on so he could have a feeding frenzy as they tried to make it to rocks and still best I could get was pic in far back corner. Not best pic but he is getting longer and fatter

Highlights and points of pride as of late is the success so far with CBB and Mandarin.

Keeping a mandarin fat has been one of my top two highs in the hobby. CBB would be a dream of mine. Great job Ray

Happy Thursday salty friends. Did some gha harvesting today..... Had an issue where I couldn’t make water that is now resolved and have 35 gallons ready to mix and getting another 35 rolling. If no emergencies issues happen will be doing big WC shooting for 55 gallons rest will be used for rock scrub blow out this weekend.
Only pulling a few top cap rocks for a good blasting in barrels not .
Here’s a pic from the couch as you can see by patially plugged wire on overflow still haven’t mastered catching all the pieces I pluck.... ;Facepalm

Doing all right my friend. Finally got an acceptable blood test now waiting for mri approval. This will tell us if it’s surgery or just a carb blocking pill. Going to be huge weight off to have an answer no matter what it is so we can just deal with it.
Hope you your son and daughter are all doing well. Need some more pics on outdoor adventures

In the words of Tony Montana from Scarface “say hello to the bad guy” Water change didn’t happen spare pump wouldn’t hook up with connection I have to avoid hauling water upstairs so I bought a new pump to make it easy moving water for WC and mixing! To ease my feeling bad about putting it off a week got these guys coming in
