What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh I almost forgot! Here's two of my new tank members. I hope to get a better picture of the fox face tomorrow it's really a beautiful fish.

It's kinda got that taco shape nice!
 
Sometimes we talk about reefing or fish or fish projects but the last time I checked there were more pictures of food than fish, birds than tanks and tacos than reefs.
Don't forget dogs! We talk about dogs and cats and sometimes hunting and fishing....
 
Ok let me see what I can do, I’m trying to watch Outlander. This all started with a lame post from Joel. He’s a restaurant owner and chef. A lot of people have come and a few have gone and unfortunately our beloved Jennifer who passed away this summer. We like Tacos, but just about any food will do, baseball, music, tailspot blennies and once in awhile we talk about reefing. Everyone is nice and supportive except Tim which you probably already knew. Tacos and tailspot blennies are kinda a big deal here. Any one else feel free to chime in, since Luis lost his job. I hope this helps catch you up.
Thanks. I feel all caught up now. Might have a problem sticking around though, I don't have any Blennies and while I like Tacos I don't get them very often. Tim seems like a really nice guy even if we do all know he's secretly a shill for all of the reefing manufacturers and he has to return all of that fancy gear after he shows it off to us.

:thinking-face:

You can still stay as long as you talk about other foods... lol

It's all good, we all see through Tim's facade and I don't always eat tacos, and I don't have anything more then a pair of clowns at the moment

Horses too because a horse is a horse of course of course!
 
@OrchidMiss i have a picture of my first bird on the wall. I miss him a lot, unfortunately he had neurological issues the vet couldn't figure out. Pictures a bad angle but I'm not holding him any more than just enough so he didn't roll off my hand as he rubbed his head around.
