Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I would drink too until I saw "sherbet".
I thought the post said "beer"? Lol. I give my helper so much crap everytime he says he needs to go pick up some beer on the way to drop him off and he comes out with white claws :grinning-face-with-sweat:
 
Seriously though, that's awesome! I always thought sps grew slowly, but I often seen 1 year shots of them and they are fairly big. Am I mistaken?
This is a Birdsnest. Most of my Acros died. I have a couple of small chunks of Pink Cadillac I'm hoping starts taking off.
 
South, cumberland county.
Ah, so far enough away it wouldnt make sense really. I'm over 2hr 20m from Portland. So after gas and all.. that said i hope to do some of the upcoming frag swaps this year. I know Bangor has done one or two, not sure where else, maybe we can meet up at one sometime :thinking-face: and by then I'll have sourced out some bed rock and wish corals for us lol

Is that the one in Fairfield? That's still like an hour away :grinning-face-with-sweat: I'm north of Bangor. I would drive there for a good selection of corals though. I'm just not familiar with it and Google makes it look like a typical LFS and not a crazy reef shop

You wouldn't give anyone a "hard" anything after a few 9% selzers :)
 
Well you don't want the wife sober. That's not sharing
Mines what she refers to as a "couch cow" so she doesn't drink anymore till the boy weans. So more for me :grinning-face-with-sweat:
