Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I think you forgot the rest of the post...?
Kinda sorta, I posted a comment that I felt wasn’t accurate and that was the only way I knew to do it. You’ll probably see a lot of these as my parents really didn’t invest in my education and sent me to public school.
 
Weird you guys talking about hitting dear.
Never hit one ever but 3 days ago I had one run into the passenger side of my truck.
It ran off with a large dent.
Luckily my truck is a point of sale so no harm done.

Wait, you went to public school??? Explains so much.

While we're revealing deep, dark secrets I feel obligated to share a little bit of my past - I used to have a Twinspot Goby.

A twinspot goby, really! Why didn’t you say something sooner. I totally see you in a different light! Now that you know my dark secret, go easy on me, I’m slow.

I think I see your problem, your tank is to new, you don’t even have coralline algae! Ha, gorgeous tank Jill! I’m having trouble finding the corals in question, could you circle them?

Truck is not a point of sale.

Love the things we are not allowed to say lol.
It's a P O S.

Yes Jill tank is marvelous don't know what you are talking about!! :smiling-face: :smiling-face::cool:
 
I have hit or been hit by three deer, a very large Tom Turkey and a flock of Chukars. One deer jumped right into the side of my pickup truck and then spun down the side damaging every panel and door from one end to the other. Another jumped out in front of my 16,500 GVW Hino cab over box truck and caved in the front and damaged even the heater fan and heater core in the cab. I had to dispatch the deer with my tire iron...not pleasant. So far, I have managed to miss them with my motorcycles.

Never heard of Chukars? Careful on that bike Lowell, 2 years ago a guy on a bike with a large Toyota SUV behind him hit a deer and was thrown from his bike and the SUV went over him and finished him off. :crying-face:

That is an awesome layout, wow!
 
wow guys thanks for your kind words! when my boys get home ill have them show me how to circle what im talking about, kevin:oops:
Pull the picture up on click on edit. On the upper right side, second to the right you’ll see a pencil tip. Click on it. Choose one of the colored pens on the bottom. With your finger circle it and push save. See, even an old dog can teach a young pup a new trick!
 
Years ago I worked in Hope, Idaho.
I had the night bar shift and would drive home at midnight or later.
There were NO lights on the road and it ran right next to the lake.
Most nights driving home my windshield was pummeled with bats, a couple times I'd have dead ones stuck to my jeep the next morning.
But the worst were these huge jack rabbits that you occasionally hit on the way home.
They were huge, like a small suitcase.
That was such an intense drive my goodness.
