Thank you for sharing...

I don't think I've ever commented on your thread before but I really like your thread just the way it is too. I haven't read it in quite awhile but was just getting caught up. I noticed in an older post that you don't drink alcohol. If you ever wanted to try something similar to wine or champagne there is a winery in Missouri called St. James winery and they make the best sparkling juices.

I guess it’s time to stop lurking and come forward and confuse... Hi my name is Don and I am a lurker. Well that was easier than I expected.
I truly enjoy your writing and the responses of the rest of you folks. This brightens my day (Ok I am a night owl so I read the forums before going to sleep) as I read them. It’s a pleasure to hangout with folks that can be silly.
My $.02, so I will now go back to lurking...carry on.

Ha! On a forum, a lurker is someone that is an avid reader, but doesn't post much. In real life, a lurker is kinda like a stalker.Good morning friends,

The emojis are people concealed in bushes. Interested and watching, but don't necessarily want to be noticed. You want 30 of them, you say? Be careful what you wish for...

Lol oh my my you two crack me up, lol. Now that I have all these bushes with peeping little beedy eyes it should help me see all around me now .
On an off topic which is what I’m known for lol, I always use to hate how cold they keep hospitals. I always have to dress so much warmer until this week. You know it’s hot outside when you think the hospital that is normally a freezer feels normal. Nope it’s only an oven preheating outside to cook us like little pizzas. This is where I really miss the Northern Oregon area and Seatlle area, never really above 70 in the Newport area of Oregon, and usually not higher than 80 in Seattle. But Boise at 102, is just way way to warm, which is odd the first two days of last week was 77, then the fourth was 95, then Thursday was 105. Feel bad for those who have to Work outside in this.

Hello
Lol @NY_Caveman umm huh lol how do you reverse a Jedi mind trick (do they even work)? Oh and I know wrong thread but how’s your tank excited.
@Erica-Renee is that little face thing a ma jig that’s blue isn’t that from monster inc the one eyed short guy? (That’s just seems wrong but it’s the cartoon guy, it’s not the fluffy one Sully, but his partner the one eyed blue monster. How did he get on your phone?
@Bronc thank you soooooooooo much it means the world to me. Everyone on here is so lovely, it’s my favorite place to come to when I’m not running Mach 9 24/7.
Okay oh and welcome @kajam and @Don Lidtke and @Sorcha2 and lok I will get them all and @mta_morrow and @cmcoker I promise to st least make you smile when you read my thread and thank you kindly for the compliments.
Oh and we can never forget @cracker who always seems to make me laugh while I’m eating cereal or drinking milk and it comes out my nose I know he is planning his next attack.
Also @Fin and @Brew12 dknt know what I’d do with out both of you. (Oh and @Brew12 please have safe trip).
So I haven’t done much with my new 425 because well if I ever stop working close to 80 hours a week plus I may have some time lol. I’m thinking it would be easier to just add 12 hours to the day. But supposedly the place making my tank lol might be another month out. Which means lol I may get it for Xmas and or a tad sooner. As well I still have not had a chance to really look and explore my new lights but was hoping @Erica-Renee she could help me with that.
I did finally speak to the company who want to build my stand. Is it normal for them to ask for a signed waiver saying they won’t be liable if the tank crushes the stand? It seems a bit odd to me but this is a first for me.
In regards to my 240, it’s super happy with out the third light. I was able to catch my birds nest and frag it before it went up in flames. It was my fault I cooked it by adding 33%more light. But now instead of a massive birds nest lol it’s a moderate one. But they grow really fast and it should be back to normal. See friends this is what happens lol when you change a good thing.
In addition, I finally have my nitrates down between 5-10 ppm and things still seem to be doing good. Oh and if I happen to mention that I wanna make changes to my tank again will some through one of those like fluffs at me.

Hello friends
So today I found something amazing in my 240, and I’m gonna be a mom, or in the words of finding Nemo, Cora says “we’re gonna be parents”. Here is a pic of the new eggs, I don’t know what the survival rate is on these but there isn’t much research on it.

Hello,
So here is a tiny video of them caring for all 10,000 of them.
It’s really neat how they rub their face in the eggs. I would have thought they would have been concealed a little more but they are next to a huge frogspawn that does cover them. Was curious if the frogspawn would deter crabs and snails etc. I’m not even sure about fish, but the clowns chase anything away that comes near them. I tried to post a short 25 second video but it won’t up load for me
, well @Fin and @cracker and @Brew12 there goes the idea of me reading red fish blue fish book bed time story to my fishes or me singing the songs from Moana with my English accent.

I am thinking they may become treats in a tank with fishes, so maybe not name them just yet. Breeding is one part of the hobby that I have not ventured into, so you will need help from someone other than me. 
I haven't tried to upload a video either, but you can upload it to YouTube and then "share" it with the "media" button in the tool bar, if you can't just upload the file. You will figure it out. Are you using your iPhone yet?
