Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My husband popped 2 tires on the ice getting to work. That was on the main highway that had been "cleared"
That's nuts.
This has definitely been the worst winter I can remember in a while.
 
I was able to get the price lower.
I honestly think I should have canceled it.
Probably could have gotten a better deal somewhere else but you live and you learn.
Here is one of them
Well a ton of polyps for the 1-3 you would get for $30. Maybe not such a bad deal. Scrambled eggs? @00W you know a thing or two about scrambled eggs right?
 
Ya, and I thought my fish load was maxed out at 6 but thanks to her I have seven fish. Do to the bioload I have to do 50% water changes daily and I had to double the size of my skimmer. This hobby isn’t fun anymore and I’m thinking of getting a feeder goldfish and put it in a bowl but stay on this forum and act like I have a reef tank. Sound familiar?
I don't have goldfish anymore

Oh no I’m sorry.
Do you have a generator for the tank?
Enjoy the pizza!
No generator.
They'll be OK for awhile but it better come on soon.
Don't know why it's out.
It was41 below last week. Glad we had power then.

Yeah maybe it was not a bad deal. I don’t think they are scrambled eggs.
They are more orange in person.
I know these are scrambled eggs,

I'm sorry. I thought it was back on and they just hadn't cooked because it had been out. Do you have any heat?

If I even see a chicken crossing the road I'll crash my truck trying to run that sucker down I hate eggs so much.

No. Lots of blankets.
Luckily it's 36 right now not 17 below.
They'd better get it on soon.
