Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Okay let me go back and look.
#258?
Figured I'd widen the pool because my fish tank fund is about to get it's quarterly boost ;) and I got some monies burning a hole in my pocket :loudly-crying-face::grinning-face-with-sweat::face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
I got 10 bucks this year but then I stopped at McDonalds and got a kids meal and all the bucks were gone. :crying-face:
Did you pass by Taco Bell on the way to McD’s?
 
Oh....
The big forum scares me but I'll go look....
It's ok, it scares me to but I try to make an appearance occasionally so as to keep the neighbors from talking
 
Good night Smorg nerds!

I'm more of a dork, but good night! Love your shrimp btw I got one in qt right now. which apparently might be a waste of my time anyway because I geuss nO one QuArAnTiNeS :face-with-rolling-eyes::face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
Is it true wrasses eat inverts or is it just some? Because I wanted to try then this time but it got 2 conchs coming
Tim would know.
I've never had a wrasse.
 
BUSINESS IDEA: collect every beneficial micro/fauna you can, brittle stars, cope pods, amphipods, MAYBE bristleworms(although maybe not) some sponges etc, and have a tank filled with sterile rubble, seed tank and sell diversity rubble with a list of organisms that it can/will have but can confidently say it won't have anything else :thinking-face: or am I like years behind and this is already a thing?
 
I made meatloaf with potatoes and carrots tonight it was 2 pounds ground deer and 1 pound beef. It was delicious...
My daughter made venison tacos tonight. Venison steak strips, sour cream, cheese, and radishes. Quite delicious.
 
I'm in maine, we are only allowed 1 buck each but you can get doe tags. I think our deer are a bit bigger though. My last dear was a 8 pt 185lb. And that's probably a average respectable deer, but not huge by any standard. I would love being able to get more than 1 or 2 though :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: think of all the back straps!
I'm in AZ where I can only get 1 bucks, no does and only if I get drawn
