High Nutrient Macro Algae/Sea Grass Reef

Thanks griss, John, Vinny and Kevin! We haven't had internet everywhere but I have been checking in with my sister and son. The tank seems to be doing well. The trip has been great! Skagway Alaska and western Canada are in a heatwave, (upper 70s- lower 80s) so perfect motorcycling weather for Pennsylvanians who are use to those temps. Canada and Alaska are very beautiful this time of year. There are so many picturesque lakes. Today we saw a mama moose with 2 calves, a black bear and a red fox. We started home this morning. Will be home in a little more than a week.
 
We got home yesterday and the tank is fine. It needs a major pruning of macro algae but all the animals are accounted for, and the coral look pretty good except the aqua trumpet has about 4 dead heads on it. The others look healthy so not sure what that is about. Today I will clean the glass and hopefully do a water change.

Thank you JohnL, it was great but good to be home.

Thanks Jesse, and I had no idea that you were moving! Well good luck in your new home and your soon to be Biocube!!

You have no idea Vinny. We stayed in motels every night, (we are too old and soft to tent it) but I missed my flat pillow and extra firm mattress.

Thanks Kevin, it was even better than Dave and I imagined. We loved it but now we are ready to bask in the afterglow of the trip with our memories and photos!
 
Dawn,
Glad for Canadian cool weather for your motorcycling adventure. Here in Austin, we have had 100+ for 30 days in a row.

Thanks Patrick, yes a heat wave in Alaska is a much different story than one in Texas! Believe me, I was happy for the warmer than usual temps in Alaska and northern Canada since we were on motorcycles. It can miserable riding 400 miles/day when you are cold.

In January of 1970, I was at the end of year 4 in the Air Force serving a 3 year tour in Germany at Rhein Main Air Base which shared a runway with Frankfurt International Airport. During the last 6 months of that tour, I had accumulated a ten year old Porsche Super 90 and a Triumph 500 motorcycle. Needing to ready for stateside transport, I planned to drive motorcycle to Bremahaven for military shipment to the Port of New Orleans. So, I attempted to drive 200 miles to Bremahaven beginning at midnight on January 21 with the tempeture in the mid 20’s. After 30 minutes at 60 mph, I was desperately looking for an exit on the German Autobonne that doesn’t have exits but every 100 kilometers. I pulled off at a gas station that was not open at 2am. When the motorcycle stopped moving, my legs were so numb, I couldn’t hold the bike up and we fell over together. It took me 10 minutes to get bike upright and on the kickstand. The gas stations on the Autobonne provided off/on only, so I walked in the back and saw a path to get on a crossover road and reverse my journey after having warmed up from walking about. Now it’s 3am and it’s snowing so hard visibility is obscured, yet truckers are passing me doing 75mph. As I was getting chilled to the bone, I accelerated to 75mph getting 5’ behind 18 wheeler that blocked the wind & my visibility. At 4am I was in a hot shower at the barracks I left at midnight.

I was a bit wild during those four years between November 1966-1970. God is still working on me.

Well, I am glad that you are still here for God to work on you, LOL. I guess most of us were a bit wilder in our younger days.
