Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Breaded and fried deer meat, cream corn and broccoli with cheese.
I love me some creamed sweet peas and creamed corn (gravy is like bacon, it goes with everything!).
 
We have Ranch Dinner most Fridays after the kids horse lessons. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes is what's on the menu tonight.
 
Just ate an amazing piece of cheesecake. Gone before I could get the camera out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's a good photo I got today instead:

Gorgeous plate , you and John should have a contest!
 
Theres a sticky on the lighting section where everyone posts their tank depth, lights, settings, mounting height, and par
And I was preparing a writing to create a thread lol :upside-down-face:

only true readings with tank depth and light mounting height over the water would be the PAR directly under the light, everybody probably spaces their lights differently, but this would still be good, as long as you get a good mix of light brands.
Yea i think the sticky is literally:
Post what you have for lights, how you have them setup and what you have for measurements. There's probably a lot that could be improved upon though

I do have to say, the sticky got hijacked by people commenting even though OP said please don't lol. Would be nice if Mods went and deleted the peanut gallery posts lol I think you'd do a nicer, more organized post :thinking-face: :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
 
im here! once in awhile i pop on but then i feel guilty because i know i should be doing something! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: hope everyone is doing well!
That's half my problem. It's a busy time of year for me. Got so much to do before summer

Just a big ol' plate of hidden valley ranch?
 
Don't tell Kevin but I'm going to watch a Spring Training game on Friday. Reds vs White Sox. I thought it was Guardians vs Sox at first...
