Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Wow a lot of catching up to do.

Kevin, your son is in my prayers. He has been since his ordeal started but I don't think I ever mentioned it.

Wes, it sounds like you've got really good medical care. You're in my prayers.

Tim, I hope your wife has a speedy recovery. Your burrito sounds like it was really good. Sorry they didn't have a better selection of brews. I think coffee does count but even water isn't always enough. I ended up in the hospital last summer from dehydration after drinking plenty of water. I drink mainly Smart Water during the summer now, even though it is insanely overpriced because I can't drink stuff like Gatorade and according to the EMTs they almost lost me on the way to the ER.

Everyone good, late, morning.
Hi Tom!
Nice to see you!
 
I let Amy out of jail...

I added some Aragonite just in this area.
No flow.
Hasn't put her foot down quite yet but she definitely looks less pi$$ed.

Thanks I appreciate it Tom!
 
My son is on the flight from Detroit to Paris. I pretty sure he doesn’t have any stops once he leaves the mainland and reaches France. He came out of the bathroom this morning and had shaved his goatee but had a stach. The kid has gone full European again.
 
I don't really know what this guy's life expectancy is, but mine passed away 2 days ago after almost 2 years. My blood shrimp had already been gone for a while, and today I brought 2 cleaners.

I love the skunks, always out and about, willing to clean up your hand every time it’s in the tank. I always get “what are those “ whenever someone sees my tank for the first time. I always get a confused look when I say that they are shrimp.
 
Just a heads up we have some storms rolling through and power is flickering if you guys don't hear from me again tonight it will be because we lose internet and power. So just in case I'm going to go ahead and say good night. Lol
 
Did you get your CCB yet?
yes... itll be a week on thurs. still hasnt eaten. i was so hopeful that this would be the trick having it in its own tank....

As soon as you give him food, separate yourself from the tank or turn off the other lights in the house so he doesn't see you. Mine was too scared at the beginning, well he still is.

Oh, I forgot to say 2 years is about the limit with them in my tank.
 
Just got done mowing and edging. It’s hot. Real feel 95 degrees…at 6:30 pm. Crazy for my area.

Kev beat me to it.
2 years is their lifespan, give or take.
