I might have to pick something up. I've got my Inkbird heater controller but I have no automation on anything else.

That's all I have too.

I know it's something that's a really good idea if you're dosing which I don't do (at least not pumps). I'd really love to get a little more automation on the 125 when I set it up. My lights are programmable so they're automated as well. I'd definitely like to add some flow control to my tank though. Make for a more random flow.

Right?
I speak French, and I am not looking to learn another language at this time.
If I did, it would be Italian, not German. I like the romance languages

You could learn German and always sound angry.

My wife and kids say I don't have to learn German for that, I do just fine in English!

Inkbirds count. Welcome to the cool kids club!

Have you seen those Kasa smart strips? A lot of reefers use them and really seem to like them. I’ve been considering one just to control my protein skimmer and have it shut off for 4-6 hours each night.

Same here I regularly get told I’m hateful when I don’t think I am. That or my wife says when I talk to people I’m being overly sarcastic and I don’t mean to.

I have a strip with dual timers that I use for all my other tanks' lights - I think they're old CoralVue or Coralife. I think between the 2 strips/3 timers I have 6 daytime and 6 nighttime plugs.

Mine just says "Why are you always yelling at me?" when I just walked in the door and said hello...

I have and love my apex system, but for basic on and off control the Kasa smart power strips are hard to beat too.

lets start the teasers early!

Oh, man! I might have call out from work at least one of the days.

Exactly!

Wow that’s a bunch of time. I work for a smallish psych hospital and they took time from us a few years ago when new owners came in. Being a ground level healthcare worker can really suck some times.

I've been with this city for nearly 20 years and don't find many reasons to call in sick. I've had the flu twice and taken time off for both of my kids' births, but that was 12 years ago. I had COVID last year but worked from home so I didn't use any time. Besides 2 hours every 6 months for a dentist appointment I rarely use it.

I’m be only been a state employee for 3 years, and I take a lot of time off and I still have 200 hours saved up. I work with a few people who have thousands of hours of sick leave saved up.

I use almost all of my vacation time every year but they'll cash out a nice chunk of my sick when I quit/retire/get fired so I'll hang onto it until I need it or leave.
