Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Our Pintail quickly became one of our favorites. It's like an aquatic puppy dog. It likes to hover in the corner where it can see us in the living room until the lights come on. It is always mellow, except for the twelve hours or so the Orange Back Wrasse was in the tank, and even tolerates the Kleinii that stills follows it around all day.
I would own a pigtail in a heartbeat. If one had been available when I was stocking my tank, we'd be pintail brothers!

Not the greatest brotherhood name ever though, ill admit that
 
Don't feel bad, Mike. It's June and I don't think I've had cup number 2 yet this year!
My wife jokingly said something yesterday around 9:30 (I got out of bed at 8:30) while I was drinking a cup of coffee. She told the kids "Well, he's only on his first cup so far"... Nope.

I wanna see a Pigtail Wrasse! I'm assuming they have curly tails?

Pugnacious Pintail Pals?
 
So I just did my radiator, rear brake pads and rotors, and my e-brake yesterday AFTER this picture... 😬

Technically I "had" the money. Had being the keyword.
just tell the employees that you just won them in a drawing
 
sorry about the cbb kevin. i was hoping that you would have better luck than me. i tried so many of those from him. they all arrived beautiful. but it was the eating that was the problem. you still have some time though. hopefully itll start eating for you. pickles maybe?
 
Probably my favorite current wrasse. Im sorry this happened, but he's going to be worth the wait Kevin!
Ya, it gets me something to look forward to. I appreciate Dr.Reef not sending me the one that was going downhill.

Ugh did it change it back...? Yes!! 🤦‍♂️ I had corrected it once and was proud of myself for catching it.
