Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Pretty sure id need two hydras do you think?
2 lights benefit if one fails over a single light if you need to replace. But I only hss as ve a single light because I didn’t need more (or really any) for an octopus. But now I’m starting to look otger directions and need more light.
 
Guys I asked my husband if we could grow some turnips in the fall and he said do you really mean "we"? I said yes we, you plant and grow them and them I eat them so it becomes we.... It's not my fault he gets home before me and takes care of the veggies before I get home.
Who cooks them?

I have to say I’m jealous Paul, I miss those days! Here’s my daughter in the little league World Series in Kirkland Wa. The next video is what you have to look forward to, I have dozens and I still watch them. Lots of time, pitching and batting coaches, travel ball etc. The beginning of hr junior year she had her first college offer, she made me take her to all the college show cases, and a week later told me she didn’t want to play college softball, it broke my heart. She did get a full academic scholarship. I haven’t told anyone but she gets married a week from tomorrow.

Beautiful Joel, I had a yellow tang in my first go round and loved it! Probably be the first fish I add when I upgrade.
 
Good Luis very busy day.
Lots of tourists and cars today.
In our jobs we have to take advantage of these busy times, there will be time to rest later ;)
