Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'M BACK!!! I drank a half cup of coffee and feel great! Ready to kick butts and take names (well only up to 5 pound butts for another week and a half).

I was going to listen to some Steppenwolf but decided I'd better stick to something less aggressive for the time being


Great to hear Tom! Does we can stop being nice to you again?
 
Good morning Tom. How you doing today?
I'm feeling much better than I have any right to. The usual bruises and miseries you get anytime you muck around with doctors but overall really good. I do think the anti-clotting meds are messing with my head a little.
