Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Morning ya'll, if you could spend $400 on an espresso machine, which would you get? Breville Bambino?

The owl and Turin look so much better though. There is also the Gevi that looks cool too.
If you drink those kinds of coffees enough, then I would say it is worth it. Alcyia's parents have one (idk what kind) and they use pretty often

Good morning Mike, just like reefing and just about everything I don’t know anything about espresso machines.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people. Alexis Carrel
Now, if you are like me, you are the worst at asking for help. I can't tell you how many times someone will ask if they can help me with something, and I will tell them no, I have it. Sometimes in life, we really should let down our pride and ask for help or advice. Wouldn't you want help on a work project that is due in two days, that you have barely gotten started on? What if it's help to throw a family get together, you would ask for help then. Asking for help or seeking out advice is not a bad thing, and we should be willing to ask for it.

Good morning Bailey!
 
For some reason, that camel really reminds me of you.
Good morning Xunhe, I can remember, not too long ago, when you were nice! 🤣

Absolutely! You have some great colors too. Are you going to do a big zoa rock or some small rocks piled together?
probably use the loose rock islands that don't have coral on them, but move them closer to large piece on my left side of the tank. still trying to figure out what would be best.

Turkish. Everyone should have a Turkish coffee pot.
