Just some stills of the 215, 2 weeks or so after the renovation.

Good morning all. I wanted to take the time to once again thank my “competitors” for following my page. I’d also like to take the time to ask them to be present with the rest of my page members rather than lurk in the shadows, that’s just weird. I’d follow other pages, providers if I thought parts of what they were doing were worthy of acquisition and installation into my service plan as a plus for my current and hopeful future clients…they do not.

Any good relationship is about reciprocation. Thus far over a vast career, there have been very few I have been able to acquire beneficial facets from in my industry. In fact, I can still site the core of those responsible for my foundation: Chris Richards, Chris Beggin, Ken Stevenson, Eben Sherril, Anne Carpenter and Wesley Foust of or formerly of The Aquatic Critter. I’d call the latter “mentors”.

That’s not to say that there aren’t and haven’t been a vast amount of peers and many that do “good” work. There and have been. However, my effort personally and professionally has been to be better than I was the day before…to elevate in small, progressive increments over time in the effort of chasing exceptional. Sadly, participation trophies have allowed all to claim they are “the best” aka exceptional.

If you’re out there or here and you think you have the same headspace, that you chase something greater…that daily your headspace churns in an effort to be better not just for yourself but more importantly for those who support and promote you(family / employers) … stop hiding, present yourselves and let’s work together instead of against each other.

In error, too many look to me as competition. I have to be aware of your presence and you have to be producing the same or competitive “product” for that to be the case. Any good relationship, competition or otherwise is one of reciprocity. There’s that word again. So far, what I could have learned and can from others is how to be an exceptional seller or politician. I’ve never been really good at either. My major flaw professionally, I love what I do. “Selling it out” for a buck it isn’t on the priority list. And, politics often orients to fragments of truth rather than larger picture truth. I can’t subscribe to either which could end up being my “undoing”. Me: it’s better to burn out than sell - out.

Again, if you are here or know someone who is out there in the “ether” that is exceptional and want to do something together, to do something even greater than either of us are capable of, present yourselves and let’s do it.

Take care everyone, lurkers included…and have the best day. Be safe.

Note to self: never tune into a forum discussion exhausted.

Makes for cognitive distortions like seeing Fluconisole and Fluticasone as the same animal. They both started with Flu…😂. Beyond that, not sure why I fixated on nasal spray. Actually, I know why…I was sitting there looking at my cold plunge tub and was fiddling with fluticasone, a steroid not an anti-fungal like fluconizole while I was cruising FB.

Context: treating a marine tank for bryopsis, a type of hair algae. You can use it for the latter treatment. I won’t. My history of using it is extensively oriented to dinoflagellates.

“Dino” is the only time I’d use a chemical foreign body like this one in a system. For things like Bryopsis there are other safer means to achieve the same goal, eradication / control.

Happens, mistake corrected.
