Show and tell time again. Most of you have followed my issues of losing Acro’s and trying to make adjustments in how I manage my tank. Here are a couple of more before and after shots. It’s getting to where I’m looking at an entirely different tank everyday now with all the changes and new growth going on. I cannot thank Shane @SBB Corals and @billyocean for their help and recommendations to get me moving in a better direction.

This first one I was sure it was going to die. Almost completely bleached out but still had a tiny bit of fluorescence under a UV light. It turned into a juggernaut over the last two months.

I know you’ll get there. You and I are close enough to start swapping frags too. We’re going to have to get together on that.

Wow! And here I am grateful that they’re alive and not thumbing their figurative noses at me before dying like in the past. Beautiful :star-struck:

Going to Highlands, NC tomorrow for work. Bad timing because I have to wait a week for my order at which time UPS might be on strike..lol. Its been worked out with Ralph if that's the case but what are the odds of that timing.

Oh for sure! Swap some service stories too I'm sure! I had originally wanted to be a pilot in the air force. Was going to go to the air force academy, had everything good to go, letter from senator recommendations and all. Then sent in my medical records and was turned down due to childhood asthma in my medical records.

Still a bucket list thing to do, go flying on a jet. Flown on all kinds of aircraft, but unfortunately jets are pretty hard to get a seat on haha. I've looked at a few of the companies that offer rides in I think T-38s. Just haven't pulled the trigger on one yet.

I know we can grow hammers, Torches, frogspawns, mushrooms for sure haha. I do think this batch from this sale should thrive. Fingers crossed!

Try to fulfill that dream. There is flying, and then there’s flying a high performance fighter aircraft. Two entirely different worlds. The T38 is a great little jet. It is affectionately known as ”the crotch rocket”. Small, sleek and super sonic capable. You would love the ride………and, probably get to see your lunch two or three more times after you ate it. Haha!

When I was stationed at Tyndall AFB in Panama City Fl, the Catholic arch bishop in Florida was coming to the base to visit and do a service for the base personnel. Wing Commander told me to take him up for a spin in the F15 two seater. I thought to myself that was very ironic to offer a supreme saver of souls a ride in one of the worlds finest killing machines ever invented by man. Hard to explain peoples logic trees sometimes. But, the arch bishop really enjoyed the ride. Go figure.

Everybody‘s always talking about having to go to work all the time, so here’s a picture of my old office. Not real big, buts there’s lots of switches to play with. Second picture is the new F15 EX with the new glass cockpit. Pretty cool. All the tactical displays are turned off. Not allowed to take pictures of the classified stuff.
