It seems that I cured my wife of the night time pains from MS. I got this from Montel Williams who also has MS. I use a juicer to juice mostly fresh beets, about 5 large ones and to that I add berries, ginger (about a 5" piece) and tart apple juice. Sometimes I add plums, carrots, or other vegetables.
She drinks about 4 OZ a day over three doses. So far it has been about 3 weeks and no more night time pains as these things are anti inflammatory s.
Now if I can cure all her other MS issues, that would be great.
Prizapro and fresh water dips don't seem to work. I tried

Here is a little photo story of the life of a pair of my gobies.
Here was my watchman gobi as a baby
I paired her up as a baby and here they are as adolescents a few years old.
Here they are as an old, out of shape married couple.
Here she is with one of her many broods of eggs.
And in a nursing home near the end of her life about 12 years later.

My very cool vacuum enhancing invention. All the dirt goes into the five gallon bucket and just about nothing goes to the filter on the vacuum itself. You just spin off the lid on the bucket and it lifts right up so you can dump it out.
I use it on my radial arm saw to collect sawdust. I just emptied it and there wasn't even a teaspoon of dust in the bottom vacuum part.

Glad to hear you have helped the wife with her pains. You two make a good couple.
The gobies also make a great couple and are some of my favorite fish. It was nice to see picture of a pair from babies throughout there life.
How important do you think it is keeping two of all fish so they stay healthy?
Is the health only from proper fresh foods?
Also is there anything good in any frozen aquarium foods?

I think most fish can live without being in a pair but some like Moorish Idols and seahorses pair up in the sea so I am not sure if they get lonely 
I do use LRS food every day but I supplement it with live and fresh for the live bacteria even though Larry, who owns the business tells me there is live bacteria and probiotics in it. I am old school and feel the need for something with living gut bacteria would be best, but probably not 100% needed.

It took 20 minutes. The stuff starts to get sticky after that so you have to finish in 20 minutes. That is just the black prime coat. The finish will be blue metallic with copper dust swirled in. That is my garage. My fish room is the same size but it is behind that door. You can barely move in there because I had to take everything from the garage and stick it in there.
Of course I ground down the concrete first which took about an hour.

Today I went to my first orientation at the Long Island Aquarium. I will volunteer there for the winter and you have to go to a 6 hour class to make sure you know how to talk to people and not be a Perv.
The first part was the touch tank where they explained to us what a hermit crab, starfish and clam are.
It was exciting and I was on the edge of my seat. (even though I was standing up) Then we went through the bird and butterfly exhibit and to the ray feeding tank. After that we were in a classroom for a talk. We were paired up with someone we didn't know and after five minutes we had to tell all we knew about the other person. I was paired up with an older gentleman, even older than me. He was a Korean War Veteran. So I asked him his name, then he got a phone call that he went outside to answer. He came back five minutes later where the instructor said. "OK Time is up"..
So I had to make up stuff about him .
Next week we go to the back scenes of the place which is what I am interested in. I have been back there before but not as a volunteer.
This place rescues seals, turtles, dolphins, whales and I assume Supermodels. They will rescue anything and they take it back to the aquarium where they have facilities to treat these animals. They are responsible for all of New York State.
I am kind of excited to "work" there as a Volunteer because I like to talk and speak to people. But I will talk to penguins or even wood.

Today I will run my diatom filter on the tank while I work on other projects. Some algae came back in the tank and my algae scrubber has an algae growth an inch thick. That is probably because for a month or two I didn't rinse the frozen food, but I will start doing that again. I wanted to grow the sponges and other microfauna which I think I accomplished. Now I want to clean it up again. I also have not changed any water since I moved here and with the gravel and all the stuff I brought here from my other house I am sure a lot of stuff rotted in there and turned into algae.
It's all good and natural and everything is growing and looks extremely healthy. The pipefish are full of eggs and the fireclowns constantly spawn.
I don't have any other paired fish now so that's all the spawning I have. I want some more interesting, small fish but have not found any yet.
All the corals look better than they ever did.
Next week, weather permitting I will collect some water. I like to change some water about 5 times a year and it's due.
