Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Evening been away for a while. Tank is still pretty algaeless in the main areas, found my last turbo snail grazing so that's good. I'm doing an 8 gallon water change tomorrow and I should hopefully get a sea hare soon.
 
Good night everyone had my stepson and good girlfriend over for supper and had a wonderful evening taking and laughing with them.
Good night peanut, sleep tight!
 
I won tickets for the Trans Siberian Orchestra!!!
Omg ( that's oh my gosh for you older reefers ;)) I LOVE them! I went 2 years ago for the first time and it was unreal. Here's some photos!

I watched "Arthur " the other day, Kevin. I'm sure you get the connection
You never amaze to cease me John, your choice in music and movies make you seem so much older than you are!
 
Been out of town today fridge shopping.
Terrible.
So many fridges .
Ours has been bogus for about a year and we've been looking for weeks.
Just went and bought one in town, which was the first one we saw a few weeks ago.
Guess we just should have stayed home....

They don’t make them like they used to Joel, if they did no one could afford them. My wife and I bought one in 1994 when we built our first house. It became a garage beer fridge for 2 additional moves. We have replaced so many since but our original lasted so many years.
 
How's everyone doing tonight?
Enjoying the eve of my 5 days off! Had a friends stop by, they always do it unannounced, which was great since I don’t have to be up tomorrow!

Yeah I know.
Ours is a 20 year old Kenmore.
Want another Kenmore but no more sears. :crying-face:
I loved sears.
Everything now is the same and expensive and probably won't last 10 years.
Ours still works but is small and really, beat to crap.
Came with the house when we bought it.
 
hey friends! howd it go? im assuming the drawing is over. did any of you watch it? im guessing tbrown won stuff!! ;)
Not a Partner Member silly. I don't have money for that. I try to do my part as a Supporter.

Never been. I called my wife and said "I have a serious question: do you want to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra?"

Her: "Uh, yeah!"
