Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
The recipe only called for 4 pieces of bacon but I put an entire pack minus the 4 pieces me and my husband ate. I figure you can never go wrong with me bacon....
Bacon makes life better... it's that simple!

Good morning Bailey!
Can't he just go into his account and change his name there?
 
Hey... did I ever tell you I converted my swimming pool into an aquarium? No, really, I did. I'll DM you my address and make sure to bring a case of Blanton's and a box of Cubanos!
Wait a pool turned aquarium!!!? I need to see this that would be awesome.
 
Update on our 8-10 inches of snow coming in!

They're now telling us we are getting zilch... How we go from "historic" totals to maybe 1/2 inch of ice in a few hours is insane.

Guess Rev will need to return those sleds he picked up!
 
You ok, man? You kind of went MIA for a couple days. Or was it just one day? Whatever it was, I noticed your absence. So, see, you have that going for you!
It's been rather busy the past month or so Chris. Thank you for noticing that my inappropriate posts have been missed. That made my day!
 
not going to be a good morning here. down to 5 degrees outside. hooked up 2 electric heaters and the gas fireplace is going.
cleaned furnace sump, cleaned drainage lines. filter is clear. runs for a bit then just stops. 😟 have to take kids to doctor first thing then I guess its call HVAC.
these things always happen when its inconvenient and freezing!
