Do you have a PayPal account?

Thanks for the thought, grab a drink and visit the bathroom if needed!

... bathroom break.

I have had a busy day in work today, I hate being bored, I did think about the tank a bit.
A lot of rock, basically anything without corals, will go in a holding vat, heater and power head
A few things will be held by my lfs.
Plan formulated more this evening, my main worry is keeping my sump refugium alive, it is the heart of it!

Took some pics to cheer myself up a bit, there is a rumour of an email announcement tomorrow in work, redundancies or possible site closure, ... how was your day?

Hopefully those rumors are unfounded but I know the UK is in a bit of turmoil. Hope you navigate through all of it without issues!

This is my only gripe today. Still have way too many hours of obligations before I can grab that drink and filter out that evil alcohol before returning the cleansed liquid into the loo.

Katrina71 · Dec 19, 2018

I hope the rumors are just that. I'm sorry. Nobody should have to fear that.

NY_Caveman · Dec 19, 2018

Man, @najer, way too much going on in your life. Good thing you hate being bored.

Crabby48 · Dec 20, 2018

Sorry to hear about the rumors. Wish the best for you

najer · Dec 20, 2018

Thanks all, fingers crossed, we will see.

Hoping that these are just rumors, wishing you good luck !

Best of luck Najer.
Those polyps for sure must help you focus on other things than work.

Where's my little pretty fish? I haven't seen a pic in a couple of days.

When it rains it pours

Hopefully you can overcome all these obstacles and get back to enjoying your reef.. setting up the frag tank and transferring everything over should give you the best opportunity to eliminate all your pest including AEFW’s. Sure glad I’m retired we where constantly bombarded with rumors of shut downs, lay offs and realignments as if I didn’t have enough stress in my life ;Facepalm I feel your pain.. Probably a good time to restock the liquor cabinet

I hope all goes well for you Simon, especially with work etc.

And the pictures are brilliant as usual

Thanks all, I do appreciate your thoughts.

So, worst case 3 to 5 weeks, current best case is the end of March next year.
If the assurance is not in place half way through January the company will go insolvent.
If it goes insolvent I lose out on £60,000 in redundancy, trying not to think about that!

I have 12 days off now, I might take a look at my finances a bit!

I won't do it now as it is a lot of typing and I can't be arsed!
You know those lawyer / corporate greed shows and films, basically we are in the middle of that!
There is an American billionaire that has basically "fornicated" us over, he is destroying the company that others built for him by sacking them.
I so want to headbut him!

Because I have that much time off by the way, I may longer be the responsible adult in the room!

Do you have unemployment insurance?

This runs 10 G water volume, only about a month old, find the balance slowly, smaller adjustments are better, all tanks are about finding the balance but as you said, it will be "harder" this way, get a feel for it.
I have run a tank this size since I started in the hobby, this has a lot of the original 10 or so year old sand bed in it under new sand, you just need to keep the water good, don't chase numbers, watch your animals, enjoy the journey!
