Last night my husband used his dremel to cut off a section of the tank's trim so I could fit the new skimmer over the rim. I had to raise the water level for it to work properly, but it's running...

Thank you! I want to try to make an arch in that area, but may just leave it alone. We'll see if it starts bugging me or not. It's definitely more challenging to move rocks around when there are...

The aquascape in the new downsized reef tank is coming along. I'm not happy with the right side yet, but will leave it be for now.

My little zoas are doing better. The frogspawn has...

Thank you!

Your rummies are sure colored up nicely! As always, your tank and fish look beautiful.

Loved all the new tank and fish pics! Those tumbled lava rocks look really nice too. I hope you're finally feeling better.

Some pics from Saturday.

I like the new carpet. It does look comfy for the toes and it's good to see your fish room coming together.

Thank you. They are so glad all the noise and strangers are gone! Our black cat, Betty, would run and hide and stay hidden until about an hour after everyone had left for the day. She was the most...

Thank you, Matt. It was a very long 8 months and it seems a little surreal to have our house back to ourselves. Soon all the tools, paint and boxes will be put away and we can relax.. or start...

We had nice weather over the weekend and yesterday. Today is a crapfest with rain, falling temps and predictions of snowmageddon. :snowman2:

Wow on everything, but a special 'yikes' for that bristleworm. I'm very glad to see your tank is doing well and enjoy seeing the pics and updates.

Ignore the mess everywhere - living in progress.

Thank you, Nat. We have 2 attic bedrooms and they'll be set up for guests, in hopes that the kids and grandkid(s) will visit more often. The larger of the 2 bedrooms got a bit wrecked since they had...

I hope you are feeling much better today, Nat! We got snow last night and this morning here in southwest Missouri, but barely enough to cover the ground.

We've been working on the house, mostly moving my craft room from the attic to the basement and getting that situated, so not much has been going on with the new setup. All the corals are continuing...

The Inkbird heater controller is helping keep the new tank's temperature steady and some of the LPS are starting to make a comeback. I am so happy to see some life emerging from the coral skeletons! ...

My husband just called to ask where I keep my aquarium tongs for the saltwater tank. When I asked why, he said he was trying to cover the new aquarium with a towel to keep out sheetrock dust and...

Both Bowie and Ziggie are very pretty creatures.

Come on over to the salty side. The water is fine over here. :wink: As with anything, you can find budget friendly ways or more costly ways to get started. I'm all about budget friendly.

This is...

I got my dual T5 fixture rigged up and like how the new setup is coming together. Operation tank transfer may get started this weekend.

That really is a rock / hard place situation! Not to be all up in your business, but has she tried applying for state Medicaid? Sometimes that is easier to obtain and will cover nursing home expense....

I know how very stressful it can be when you feel like a lot / most of the decision making process is out of your hands. Hopefully y'all won't need to move, but even if you do end up moving, don't...

Thank you, Matt. The last half of 2019 was rough. We were glad to see it end and are hoping for a quieter, healthier and less stressful 2020! I hope you and your family are doing well too.

It looks like things are moving right along. I was sorry to hear about your mom's health issues and glad that she is doing so well now!
