Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
tend to your back mine is still not great but been able to avoid injections for a year. been resting in for a few days.
I'm hoping to avoid another injection as long as possible because they hurt its been a few days past 3 months since I got the last one and I don't think my insurance will pay for another one until September or October I can't remember what my spine doctor told me.

Amanda are you having back issues again ? So sorry to hear this . Thought all of that was in the past .

mine I believe was minimum 3 months. the real issue is it takes away the back pain but since you don't have pain, you tend to work it worse rather than not so anything for a while. finding better sleep positions has helped me recover but when I do certain activities it gets aggravated again. simple things too like playing catch with the kids.

Getting old is just no fun at all!!!
 
That reminds me of the old days when I used to do "Records and Reefing". It eventually evolved into #Smorgasbordafterdark

Yeah that’s a gorgeous tank. Mine looks pretty unhappy but not quite as bad as a a week or two ago before urchin and pitho that Bobby let me use. I’m thinking that I might just sell the tank and keep the light and other stuff and get a smaller one like the IM 15 gallon starter kit or 20 gallon starter kit. We’ll see what happens but that the way I’m leaning
