Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
He never said but he was very nervous about it.
Ok, I knew there was something, and I been praying, but I didnt know what, nor did i want to pry... Praying that everything went well.
 
Boston? I only have had New England (creamy milk), Manhattan (red), Rhode Island (clear). Maybe you got sick because it was really "Boston"?
Boston is green ...??? 😉
 
Michigan, right by Rock. We need to invite him as well. Pound for pound no better fighting fish. I don’t know how many times I was large mouth bass fishing and hooked a fish and thought this has to be a 5-6 pound large mouth only to find out it was a 2-3 pound small mouth.
We'd all three be in jail by noon.
Ive always heard they were great fighters. Probably throw some smaller swim baits, jigs, or spinners at em?
 
Calaveras. they have a lot of plaques in the sidewalk too. good eats and lots of antique shops.
We went camping at Calaveras big trees State Park every year until I was 15
Sometimes twice.
A serene peacefulness Calaveras was, can't explain it really.
Saw the frog jumping contest a couple of times too.
Don't miss camping, but I miss the park.
All my friends went to Hawaii, we went camping.
We went to Mount Lassen a bunch too.
 
Thanks buddy! We were sure it was going to be a girl so we had no boy names picked haha
I knew someone that was convinced their baby was a girl. It popped out a boy. Needed a name fast. Flipped through a baby names book. Ummm Alan is as far as they got! Not even to the “B’s” 🤗

I think you had it better. I’ve been to Hawaii as well.

Well, we got a middle name planned at least. Naming him after my brother. ____ Anthony. My last name starts with a C so S names are off the table. His initials arent going to spell sac. Which my wife's sad about because she liked Sawyer

Great way to honor and remember him

My helper came from Boston, and I asked him "what's Boston known for... Clam chowder? And those gross Boston baked beans?"

Well hes half Guatemalan, so we thought Bean was poor taste so I went with Chowder. Thats now his name 100% of the time. To the point where the GC and other trades just call him Chowder. Supply house guy calls me "Chowders dad" lol
