Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Very difficult to learn how to handle non compliance without at least pepper spray.
As I'm slowly going crazy, I think of you guys, pick up my phone and as they're talking to me I'm typing on here not paying attention.
Drives them the same crazy every time

Nice!
That phrase/buzz word thing really drives them nuts.
Most of the time I don't know WHAT their new words mean
I don't think they do either.
My son tells me dad, you're using the word wrong!
I'm like it's not even a word :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Do you think your supplier used Barbasol and shaved them before shipping?

Well it is back to the dementia thing. For five years I’ve been wanting my family physician to increase my dementia medication but I keep forgetting to ask.
 
Okay since Kev and I have no idea what the sun looks like let's ask some others.
Anyone?
Little help over here!
@tbrown ?
I can verify that it is indeed the sun.
