Long work day. Let's hope tips are good! I have fish to buy in the near future.

Sending good juju for good tips. Nothing like a lady with good tips!

I find that's where this hobby truly shines, there are quite a few reefers out there that would do almost anything to help out another reefer.

Its the ladder system. You enter the hobby at the bottom of the ladder, and you look up and above you there are people showing you the way and offering encouragement. Somewhere along the line you find yourself a few rungs up and starting to look down and offering to help while still getting help from people above you as the challenges get harder. Eventually, you spend more time helping others because so many people helped you, and the cool thing, is there is always someone up near the top sharing ideas, collaborating and challenging you to take another step up.

It's a great hobby and community with which to be a part.

My first tip of the day..."leave your mask on" And I shaved my legs for this?

Good morning fish people!

Your saving grace is you did say "lady."

I was warned by a guy at the grocery store check-out that I was supposed to be 6 feet away. I really wish I would have had a tape measure on me. He was paying at the register and I was loading my groceries onto the very end of the conveyor belt. I just said that I was sorry and backed up, but I don't think I was too close to him and wasn't even facing him. So, I do know how you feel - at least I didn't shave my legs though.

Love it! This gives me some great ideas for pranks on my team.

I put my buddies car up for sale while he was chaperoning a youth retreat.

Oh.. there was more. I’m just disappointed with my pics . They look so much better than this.

What did you take the pics with?

LOL! Proofreading is important!

Does it state where you have to where the banana? It could get interesting.

I'm working with Half Pint again. It's always fun when we work. Imagine Coyote Ugly with ice cream!

You all need to check out @Hemmdog 's new palladarium on his tank thread. He has done a masterful job of making something beautiful during his lock down!

An iPhone. I need to get a yellow filter for it. Or invest in a good camera.

Good morning, everyone!

So, last night, to honor the dedicated lifelong 44 years of making questionable decisions about literally everything in my life, I finally did something smart.

I opened my own business.

Website is paid up for 10 years, LLC is filed.

Congrats!!

I use a camera for pics, iphone 7s, I did correct brightness and contrast, mostly T5 with an led supplement, phone cameras tend to hate led lighting!

Wow. I was sure you were using a high-end camera with longer focal length lens and filter! My lights are all led, so yes it’s a challenge.
