    Greetings one and all,
    Well, Its been a wild summer for me...Dealing with my fathers failing health and making sure my mothers needs are handled also...both 83 years old. My dad is now under Hospice care and the time is growing near. Grateful to have him this long.
    So, I have been a bit pre-occupied to say the least.
    My tank has given me alot of comfort....and also alot of pain..I have handled alot of issues and have had total success....and I am happy with my results.
    This missive is to say hello to all and to thank those who have offered me comfort and support in these trying times.
    I will be lurking about in the near future.....see ya then.
    Thanx
    Timbo

    Here is a photo of my tube coral...Very nice example....enjoy

    It's nice to see you back. Sorry about the folks. You're not alone in having elderly parents to deal with. My mom is all we have left, and she's 78. It doesn't matter how old they are - it's still hard to lose them. :(

    The tube coral is gorgeous!

    Keep in touch when you can! :)

    I lost my mom at 43 to lung & brain cancer, doesn't matter how old/young it sucks none the less.

    and yeah that tube coral looks great better than anything in my 90 gallon pit of death at the moment
