Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I did not haha. Luckily for me, it was the first cup from the pot and I had enough left over to pour one out for the homies. I figure, salty coffee was probably an ideal beverage choice to pour out for the reef homies of days past.
Haha perfect! Ill have to send you my recipe for red eye coffee gravy in case that happens again. It goes great over biscuits, grits, and country ham.

Are you counting down the days to vacation?
No since he can't count, but he periodically asks his wife how much longer they have to go. :)
 
What did you get man!?
Two yellow/gold gorgonians, two RFAs, tropicana anacropora. A purple, green and forest fire digi to flank my blue stylo.

For some reason I thought you said coffee gravity and was going to say gravity is a lie and doesn't exist
 
First one, dad I’m bored. Dad, let’s drive to Toys R Us and get a Lego set and we’ll spend the day putting it together.

Second one, dad I’m bored. Get your colored pencils and some paper and when it’s half time we can draw together until the games back on.

Third one, dad I’m bored. Dad, here’s some scissors go and run around with them and when you are bored with that go play in the street.
Solid parenting advice Kevin. Mind if I add this to my book I'm writing? I'll credit you and title it ... "Parenting 101 - Old School"

Duh, everyone knows the center of the earth is a giant magnet powerful enough to pull us down to earth via the iron in our blood. This is why we don't have more underground tunnels because as you get deeper the magnets strength gets too powerful. Also why there's no gravity in space.
 
I accidently put salt in my coffee instead of sugar once
If you add a pinch of salt it's actually pretty good. Not sure how much sugar you usually add but I'm assuming you got your daily salt intake for the next month or 2...
