Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I've had really weird experiences with my phone carrier down here lately. Maybe that's why, but I've not been getting notifications from r2r and some other sites. I promise I'm not ignoring anyone if you've tried to contact me lol. I do show notifications on private messages but don't see them. Oh well anyway, hello again friends. And it was good to see the Bobby Cox photo!
Hi John!
All good I rarely get notifications unless they're two years old or more ;).
Nice to see you this morning!
 
I was thinking the same thing a few minutes ago.
Have we heard from her today? :thinking-face:
I haven't heard from her today...
 
The first post from Joel will probably take a half a day he just rambles on and on about his tank, reefing philosophy, reef chemistry, management, his family, his restaurant, racing days, baseball, tacos, Billy Idol etc.
