Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
As someone who gets exercise-induced migraines and my mom, who gets migraines every so often, they aren't fun. Alycia and I are wishing you the best today and praying it will be a day full of joy and no pain!
Thank you both so very much. Not sleeping is one of the things that frequently triggers them for me. I am on a preventive migraine medicine because I was getting them two or three times I still get them just not as often.
 
Guys I'm really struggling today from not sleeping well the last several days and could use some prayers that I make through the day without messing up anything at work and without getting a migraine.
Prayers sent, I hope you feel better soon!
 
Leaving for the Pittsburgh airport at noon to pick up my live rock and sand today. A lot of work later. Also my Scolys is being delivered today!

I've only ever had one Migraine and it was when I was pregnant. It was the most horrible feeling. Praying it stays far away from you! Not sure what your job/personal situation is, but hopefully you'll be able to catch up on some rest this weekend.

Thank you! I work at our local health department and thankfully we don't have a lot of patients today like we have had the last few days.

I get migraines from time to time. I also do not sleep much but the two are unrelated.

My wife gets headaches that are beyond migraines. There is a specific reason for this that I will not get into now. However, they are so bad that they affect her body temperature. She becomes cold and also gets very cold to the touch.

I am not a prayer type of person but will focus on sending you calming, peaceful and healing energy in the next few minutes.
 
I mean I spent a bulk of my day yesterday standing outside in the cold watching birds, so I guess I have gone to the birds.....
Speaking of birds, I have a cool story to tell, about an eagle, that happened this past Sunday. I do not have the time to write about it, right now, but will do so at a later time.

I have 5 bird feeders but keep them empty because my cat likes to catch them and it makes me sad when she leaves me a dead one as a present.
