Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Nice, day. I have my mother over every Sunday to get her out of her condo and to have dinner. Cooked steaks on the grill.

That is awsome!

 

[00W]

No. Trying to figure it out. I need to understand how and why things work or fail.

What are you working on exactly?

Time with our parents if you are blessed enough to have amazing ones like I did are precious and you should cherish each and everyone of them. I miss both of mine still even though it's been 11 years since I lost my dad to cancer and 3 since I lost my mom to what I truly believe was a broken heart.

I lost my dad three years ago to a sudden massive stroke. I never worried about him. He played tennis twice a week for as long as I can remember. My step father died a year ago last month while eating dinner at the dinner table. My mom has never lived alone before so I try to get her out of her condo and she enjoys seeing her grandkids, granddog and grandcat.

So sorry my friend.
I have no relationship with my parents at all except a little hi and bye.
They are both still alive, still married.

Tailspot sighting!!!

About half of my 125 rock is homemade Aragocrete rock. Portland Cement and Aragonite sand.

Make a sand mold with moist sand, mix equal portions of Aragonite sand and Cement, add water until it's a good consistency to scoop and dump without being "wet", scoop it slowly into the mold, cover with damp sand, cover and wait 24-48 hours, then remove from the sand. I let mine cure in the air for another day or two, then place it in a bucket of tap water and watch the pH. Once the pH stops spiking, you can either add it to the tank or give it a saltwater soak to start making it "live". I'll usually do a 5 gallon water change and put the rock in that to soak, add a splash of phosphates to seed it so it doesn't strip my water, and wait a week or so before adding to the tank. No heater is necessary but water movement helps (especially in the freshwater soak).
