Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
There are guys like Matt, Matt, (me), Joel, Paul, etc that don't always do things the normal way and make it work. However, usually when people say "You'll be fine, I've done it a million times" is when it's likely to go horribly wrong for you. For instance, people ask my advice on things, I usually say something along the lines of "This is how I have done it but it's not really recommended." Lots of badges doesn't mean lots of knowledge and lack of badges doesn't mean lack of knowledge. Also, experience doesn't mean knowledge...
I know badges don't mean knowledge but I've known those guys for a very long time.
 
Sometimes a good chiropractic adjustment helps with back pain. Sometimes ice/heat is enough if it's muscular.

I think football has finally done its damage.

Again, I'm not trying to bash anyone. My suggestion with any advice - mine included - take it as one person's opinion, not truth or gospel.

Understood. What fish is in your profile photo?
 
There's a lot of different opinions and different "right ways" to run a reef tank. What works for me doesn't work for most of the rest of the world.

"What works for me doesn't work for most of the rest of the world" I like this.
 
I don't even know what I'm doing at this point. The tank was built around this fish.
You built a 60 gallon tank around a fish that gets 7", some even get up to 10-11"? Not sure that math is mathing correctly in my head. Sorry, not trying to sound like a detritus head, but... that's not solid planning
 
EXPERT ONLY on Live aquaria.. how so?
Very sensitive shippers. Find one local, watch it for a few days to make sure it's eating and not sick.

Apologies. I heard it only got up to 6-7 inches long so I thought I was fine.

Now it make sense.
 
I haven't had a doctor tell me there's anything wrong with me since I was maybe 12 (broke my elbow - no avoiding a doctor with that one). Seems like I must be fairly healthy?
Probably that's the last time you went to the doc... I'd say your perfectly healthy brother! I avoid doctors too and I'm in the medical field!

Should I go to my trainer about my neck?
