Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
When my glasscages tank arrives, i want contrasting colors next to each other. So your eyes are drawn to certain areas. I'm picturing this like art work if that makes sense
My end goal, is a 6' tank, built into the wall. My master bedroom is over sized, and has 2 massive closets. Ones the perfect size i tuck a 6x2x2 tank into and frame it into the living room wall :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: that said, nothing but time and money haha
 
May need to order Spanish on that app...uhmm...Rosetta stone?
I might sign up for some sort of Spanish app. I see a lot more Spanish on the job sites now. Would be nice to know who's making electrician jokes without me knowing it :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Yeah...I understand about the money part. I'm fortunate and blessed...but still have to pass it by the Boss. Read that as my wife

That would be awesome by the way! Falling asleep with the tranquility and beauty of a reef tank!

Well you know the saying happy wife longer life...
 
I don't want to bring the group down but for those of you that pray can you keep me in your prayers. There is a chance I might have cancer in my lady bits and I'm scared.
I'm stopping what I'm doing to pray right now Amanda. 🙏

Thought it was happy life. But...the longer makes sense or she'll kill me in my sleep!
 
$7.99??????????
Just the adapter, I found it prettier on Etsy, but the important thing is that it works, lol. Although it hasn't given me any problems without an adapter.

May need to grab one. Not that I test often, but when I do, I can thank Luis!
 
Amanda, definitely not a "downer". That took courage to share that and I commend that. You are surrounded by people who love you and will support you. On this chat and in real life! You won't deal with this alone.
The hardest part is letting people in sometimes. I had a bad habit of just dwelling in my own head

Totally understand my friend. Trust me. I don't trust many people. When I met my wife 6 years ago, I trusted nobody. She has allowed me to open up and share with her the darkest parts of my past without fear of it being used against me. I am again blessed with having met her.

My bad habit is acting like I'm ok when inside I'm a mess. I think it's because I know everyone has enough of their own stuff they are going through.

This makes my heart happy.

I'd like to build it so that you can see it from both sides, but the aquascape prevents you from seeing into the bedroom. That way you almost have 2 seperate tankes. The living room side and the bed room side.
 
Thank you my friend
Absolutely, you, as well as everyone else in here is family. We might all get caught up in busy day to day life, but in the end, we're all here for each other.
