Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Much better! Except those are some ragged, skinny looking deer. You think I live in the desert or something???
Yes. Arizona is technically desert. Along with Utah and New Mexico they form the Sahara of the southwest hehe
 
Good Morning Amanda . The now trademarked cat says hi also. Any unauthorized use of her image likeness imposes a bag of Temptations kitty treats as penalty fine

Temptations are not premium treats. She should set her sights higher.
 
Umm…I may very well have secured a place locally. Out of the blue the owner of the place I saw 10 days ago messaged me and asked if I was still interested. So I have to meet with one potential roommate tomorrow at 7 and I might be able stay put. @Calmwaters , Amanda if this works I just want to say I really appreciate everything you did for me and if the guy I’m meeting with hates me , well I still appreciate it all no matter the outcome.
No worries at all my friend!!!! I hope it works out for you!!!
 
Hmmm, no signs of the McCoskers wrasse in the DT today, was hoping to see him swimming in the water column when I got up this morning. Meanwhile the other in the acclimation box is a piggy getting fed four times a day. I know my cuc is good but I don’t think they are that good. 🤔

I had tried my hand with a McCoskers and found it to be easily bullied. Admittedly is was not a passive group with splendid Dottyback and 2 yellowtail damsels 2 Bangaii and 2 ocellaris. It disappeared about 2 weeks in. Never found any remains.
 
Good morning peeps!
did a bit too much yesterday and tweaked my back. I'd like it to be a resting day but a few things I need to do. can't seem to find my back belt.
Good Morning Paul! Take it slow.

Thanks for the encouraging words Steve, way to lift my spirits! 😉

Most likely it's fine and hiding in a cave or crevice. My Pintail is normally out all day but when the Klein becomes a butthead, the Pintail is nowhere to be found for most of the day, like now.
 
I forgot, good day everyone!
