What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thought you were playing Kevin’s game !
Wasn’t aware you were talking football 🏈. By the way I’ll make sure to tell Kevin that you are close to having a game .
 
Thought you didn’t watch any games 🤭
I don't. I drive by the stadium every day for work. It's about the halfway point between my house and my place of employment.
 
sure will
its a test piece for the rocks glasses I plan to make with the johnny walker blue scotch bottles I have, the cut side should look like the pic below

You see how thick the sides are ?
It’s that much whiskey 🥃 they are depriving us out of .
Lol !! 🤣
 
Hows the Bernardopora doing? I like the look of the pora family, but keep killing them. The rest of the tank is too successful to change much for them though.
I actually picked up one in the the sale & it is very short tentacles, i hear they like really low flow & par like 50 par max. Also I hear they grow like weeds so I isolated it onto its own rock lol

true, a fifth of Johnny Walker Blue label will set you back about $75 , but I don't drink the blue label, I prefer the black label. have drank it, have been gifted it, But when I buy it, I buy the black label. Green label has the same bottle, but cheaper price. Have not tried the green label yet.

Man I love that! It would be a cool planter for plants that liked to grow in water, moss, or clay lecca balls.

after you see the work involved to get the cut edge like that you may have second thoughts. I am 30 to 40 min. into this shot glass now, about another 45 min. to finish it up
 
As of now, only four pages to catch up on. You Smorgers have been slacking today. Get with the program, will ya!
 
He never said you had to use your own money. I think that's his special way of saying he'll buy it for you!

Idk man. I agree that it looks more like a goni. It was sold as an alveopora and I always double check sales pics before I buy. Im wondering if the sent the wrong one? Either way I like it. I can't get 12 OR 24 polyps when I count so it's a new hybrid!! If it's truly a goni, it'll be dead in a a week anyways.

That's going to be nice when it takes the rock. Is yours orange? Those look great to me
