Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm a big guy, 6' and 230 lbs. I'll take 2 with more chips
6' at 230 lbs is big these days? I'm 6'4" and 255 lbs and I often don't feel too big when walking around, out and about. I think they're growing 'em bigger now. Must be all the steroids in the food. However, I'll agree with your request of "2 with more chips" and even throw in a "please". I only threw in the "please" because I noticed it's getting late in the month and I still haven't done my one nice deed. You see, it's a new goal of mine. Being nice once a month. I think I've only missed 3 or 4 months this year, so far, so I'm pretty proud of that! 😉
 
Take note, there might, i mean might, be youtube video later, depends on the Georgia / Alabama game. I live in a house divided, wife is an Alabama fan. We clock in, say our trash talk, clock out after the game.
 
Happy Saturday everyone!! I have been at the field since 8am! On my way home now! To finally kick these shoes off.
Good evening Brian, get some relaxation in!
 

One of those bands that has no bad songs. (In my humble opinion.) A feat that even the "greatest" bands cannot claim.
 
I worked in the garage most of the day today. Now my wife is preparing to go to a Women's Game Night at church. I have to go drop some stuff at Goodwill and then I'm thinking LFS! Just checked their website and they're having a buy 1 get one 50% off sale AND Reef Nutrition is 30% off. Maybe I'll grab a bottle of pods to refresh the tanks and see what fish, if any, they have that I must have... I think I'm still around $200 in store credit there.
 
Sure is buddy!! You close by?
No, I am in SW FL. While I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I also did a stint in Whiting, IN. It was a short stint but, while I was there, I met some people who were friends of a friend. They hailed from Lowell and invited me to their house for a BBQ. Nice people and I liked the area.

I actually asked because there are a number of reefers here that are not all that far from you. Good people too.

Hope you get some good deals! Get some nice pictures of the haul you get!!
 
I shared this on JoJo's thread because he made a comment that deserved it but since several of you like old country, I'll cross post here:

I'm not sure how all you people rack up store credit. I spend the credit before I can earn it. Apparently, I must be short on self-discipline when it comes to reefing. This is odd because I exercise a top-tier self discipline life in all other aspects.

I sold them some Stratosphere Zoas (12 polyps) and they gave me $500 in store credit.
