Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@tharbin I hope you're on the way up brother. Take care and check in when you can. If I knew what kind of music you liked, Id play you a #Smorgasbordafterdark song. Here's a good one anyway.

You did real good. My metamorphosis from larval to adult was accompanied by predominately mid-late 60s/early 70s rock. far too many to name but Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, Credence Clearwater, etc. I also like a lot of country and most older jazz like Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, etc.

I just had my 'light' breakfast and getting all my ducks in a row. Check in is at 1:00pm MST so checking R2R while finishing my one cup of coffee.

Thanks. I really appreciate the thought.
 
Good morning sir Keith his nolongernerdness!
LOL!! I'm not going anywhere.. and I will be always be a Nerd!
 
Morning my friends!

Good morning Joel, have a great Monday!
 
There, all caught up. Good Morning Smorgville!
Good morning Tom, I hope everything goes well today, when you wake up and feel a little better, if you can at least stop by here and say hello so we can be less worried

I wish your procedure was first thing in the morning so you don’t have to dread it all day. You have got this Tom!

Once I remember who I am it will be the second thing I do, after kissing my wife. Well probably not second, I'm a wimp so I'll probably be screaming for more pain meds first.
 
Almost afternoon all.

Just got done blowing off the rocks and sand in the reef lol. I got bit by HotLips lol.
Aren't clownfish fun!
 
The gift that keeps on giving.
I know when I first got it a few years ago my wife ( she’s a nurse so she knows about these things) said I probably got from sitting on a public toilet, according to her it’s one the most common ways on contracting it. So heads up, always use those paper seat covers in public restrooms like I do! 😉
