Good to hear that baby and momma are doing well.

You could use the 220 as an acclimation box.

Lol. No, the boss says it goes. And I agree with her.

It has been a busy week. My newest frag has been in intensive care for jaundice and feeding problems. However, I am proud to say that he has come through these and may actually be discharged on Sat. He now weighs about 4.5 lbs and is doing very well.

My wife and I are kind of use to this as both our children were premature. Our son was born at 26 weeks and weighed 1lb 12.5oz and our daughter at 30 weeks and 2 lb 5 oz.

I have had some issues with the tank and have lost a few corals. However, family comes first and the tank will recover. I will update sometime in the next week.

Wow.. so he's a regular porker compared to when his mom was born.
Good luck to the family, Ward!

Ward,

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out. Call anytime and I can be there in 5 minutes.

I hope the baby comes home tomorrow.

Jerry, thank you so much. Looks like he wont be discharged tomorrow because of a set back in his eating. Not serious, but they want to ensure he is eating consistently. This is all part of the development process of premies. He is still below 5 pounds, so it would not surprise me if he is there for a little while.

The neo unit is overwhelmed this year. Nurses don't know what happened but they have more little ones than in the past. They have 5 sets of twins in the unit. Guess we Ottawa folk are a fertile bunch. lol

Well, we do tend to spend a fair bit of time indoors during the cooler months

Glad you got your new skimmer in.

I got a RO Regal 300ext a while ago.

Tell me how your new skimmer does. When you get it up. How is the baby?

For any of you who are following this thread, I just found out that Ward (Rockworm) passed away earlier this summer. He had been struggling with some serious medical issues for a number of years.

R.I.P.

Very sorry to hear this...
My condolences to his loved ones.. although, I’m not sure saying that here will actually get to them.
Very sad.

I will stop by the house to see how Sue, his wife, is doing and will pass on your thoughts.
