Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Sorry guys... wow... life has just been... insane. I've been so absent recently and I apologize.

Today happens to be Goldie and Teddies Gotcha day. On June 11th of last year, we made the long journey across the state to get these two trouble makers... lol. We still can't leave them alone for 15 seconds, or else they will find a way to cause trouble. I'll try to get pictures later!
It's always giod to heat from you Walker. I completely understand what you mean. Sometimes you can follow every message, sometimes you're able to just check in.
 
Work was very busy as usual then the evening was busy as well we had to take one of our vehicles to drop it off to get an alignment. I always spend at least 30 minutes with my black beauties as my friend calls them because I have to hold Leo hostage while they eat or he will eat all his food then go help Dottie eat hersand with her being as skinny as she is she needs to eat every bite of hers. Pictures of Leo being held hostage and Dottie's tiny dot and then one together of them both begging for more treats.
They are beautiful Amanda, fatten her up!
 
Carolina's Mexican food for dinner. Ordered a Oaxaca burrito. Chorizo, potatoes, eggs, and cheese.
 
I'm glad that apart from everything, everything is going well, my friend. I was waiting for you to write to ask you how things are going with the tank temperature situation. Can you post a photo if you can? ( FTS if possible with the pups at front 😉 )
Hi Luis!

The tanks lights are already off, but I'll try to get the photo tomorrow if they can behave well enough lol. My tank was only 80 degrees for one day when it was 95 out. The house has stayed below 78 since then. The good thing about summer is that my tank heaters rarely have to run!
 
no not necessarily. they are a nice size. do you think thats too small? i have a bigger one. 10 gallon i think. but its just a tank not a whole set up.
Much better Jill!
Couple pieces of rock, little bit of reggae and that'll be just fine!
 
I'm on the CBB train as well. Im waiting till you guys all get one first though that way I dont look like a trend setter 😂
You're a total trendsetter Mike got me changing all my egg pan handles so I get all the right colors 😉

I'm very glad to hear it, anyway it's not a bad idea if you start reading a little about chillers, I'm in a WhatsApp chat where someone is selling one, I'm not sure if it'll work for you but if you find out what you need I can find you a good deal.
 
He was a brave for 2 or 3 months in 21 when we won the world series. He added so much joy to the dugout that they gave him a ring
Had pictures of him as a Brave but I so much remember him as a Giant (and a Panda.)
