I think it's smart to wait.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Me too. All you lose is a short bit of time. Reefing rule number one, patience.

 

[Gernader]

I would wait too. It’s too much work to move everything just for 3 days

 

[Katrina71]

Did we just un-enable?

 

[NY_Caveman]

Smart enable

I was shocked that I didn't come home with a baby tang. None were right.

Fish prices were realllly high. A Blenny was 48.00.

I never got back to catch up on my reading today...its been a tough day. Step dad’s been having stomach/intestinal issues for 3 months now. It’s been slow going because of covid. Finally able to have a procedure down last week and the found a blockage..took some tissue and sent it off to be tested. It came back positive for Cancer. He had Hodgkins Lymphoma when he was younger, prostate cancer 10 years ago, prostate cancer showed up again last July and now this. Didn’t get much information from my mom, because she broke down when we talked. He’s in his 80’s and has said that he wouldn’t go through the drastic treatments again. Specialists office that called with the news, has to forward report to his gastro doctor, who then has to bring in an oncologist. No idea how long that’s going to take. This virus has so much screwed up. He’s having a procedure Tuesday, so they can put in stints. I guess the blockage is keeping food from getting to where it needs to go for his body to be able to absorb the nutrients. Hopefully they will know what’s going on by then.
I use the door dash app..changed the address to theirs and had a really nice dinner delivered to them. Brother and sister going to do the same, alternating days. My brother is in NC, sister is in CT and me in Jacksonville, but we feel like we’re on the other side of the world. It’s not safe for us to be around them, because of the virus. When she told me and broke down on the phone, I was heading down today (it’s only 4 hours away)..until I remembered because of this d*** virus I can’t.

Im sorry for ranting..thank you for listening. We all have our daily struggles, but being part of the “miracle” helps make some of those struggles a tiny bit easier. I feel blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of people. Night everyone. Tomorrow is another day..stay safe!

I wasn’t able to find the fish I wanted. I even looked everywhere online and visited multiple LFS! I really wish everything will go back to normal now

I have that Blue Cespitularia lower right. It is amazing. Grows fast and mine is starting a new colony already

I

This is the one I’m excited about.
The order includes 3 pom pom Xenias, supposedly red, white and blue. Let’s see what we get

This is why my coral order happened. Too few fish options and way too high prices.

They will start to come down. Stuff is opening back up.

@Dolelo96 big hug to you and your mom. I know the big C all too well. It's horrible when the treatment is as bad as the illness.

how do you have the strength to hold out?!
My LFS got a threadfin butterfly in today and I went in to get some calcium (yes, I folded on the DIY)
I was 100% gonna eat ramen for the week for that fish. But my guy told me it wouldn’t survive in a new tank :/

 

[NY_Caveman]

I liked the old sad emoji. The tear is too much. Hugs are usually better anyway I suppose.

It's not easy with those little sweet faces!
