At my church we welcome the little ones even if they are noisy

I've tried to tell my wife that I assumed that's how most churches were, barring like full blown temper tantrums, in which you get up and step outside, but she's super self conscious about it, she doesnt want to ruin their service. She never went to church as a kid and is fairly inexperienced (seems like the wrong word choice) with the church setting. That said, we haven't found a home church yet as we recently moved out to our current home and where we used to go is almost an hour away now

Second favorite
I listened to this album probably 1000 times.
IMHO their best album, my favorite at least.
I was huge into Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins for a bit.

I need to get back to church. Been awhile. Been a few times lately but the wife struggles with bringing the baby as he's too young to understand what's going on and basically one of us has to sit in the hall with him or something during service while he runs around

Just my 3 eldest and I went this morning. Yeah that can be a tough time. Our church has a cry room at the back with a big glass window so you can see into the church. Mothers nurse in there though so if a Dad has to go back he has to stand in the vestibule. You can see through the windows in the doors but you can't hear.

Most good churches are very tolerant of the young and welcome families with young children.
Some even hold family services just for that reason.
They're pretty rambunctious if you can imagine.
When I was a kid they had a special service dedicated to that.
If they're intolerant then it's not the right place.
You'll find your way.
Nice your wife thinks of others so much.
Sounds like a nice lady.

It's going to be around 9'x16'. It's going to have a seperate zone valve and thermostat and will be heated/insulated as my basement stays around 60°f all year. The picture of the bottom of the stairs shows a wall I'm ripping into. That used to be a room that I'm removing and now instead you'll walk down stairs and turn right to get into the basement. I was going to put a door on the left into the fish room but it wouldn't work well with my sump layout so I don't think I'm going to do it that way as of right now. It's a long ways from being done but should be awesome when it is

Im hoping so! The last few weeks have been a nightmare with him so the wife cant imagine trying to bring him.. Getting his vaccines and catching every cold/flu known to man since he started childcare on Jan 1, the wife and I have been so busy/exhausted. I'm just hoping he catches a break soon... he's also teething really bad right now so if it's not one thing it's another.

So I choose 6 macro algeas two for the foreground, two for midground and 2 for background. Do you think it's too much? Maybe I should just go for 1 in each position? If so which should I chose? @JoJosReef and anyone else that knows microalgeas....

Sorry brother.
That's rough.
You'll slowly forget about those days and move on to a different phase, start a new chapter, here the word no have every sentence start with "what."
But the love never stops....

Oh, so my cyano/dino situation...
Two sets of pictures at like 2am this morning when I got up to let the dog out... and one about 8 hours earlier. I can't decide it it's just the light makes the red pop or of its truly disappearing into the water column... that said, there's no bubbles at night and during the day there are... what are your thoughts?
