What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Doing about the same, hanging in there, thanks.
Good Morning Kev! Enjoy the games. Thanks to you I tried an Arby's Angus Cheesesteak. Pretty good.
 
morning everyone!

I guess I am old now...i threw out my back at the ripe age of 35..and still have 30ft of fence i need to put up
Oh my that is for sure not a good thing! I hope you have help with the fence and feel better soon!
 
Good morning to all you Smorgsters in Smorgville!

Too much catching up to do on the 'Bord these days. I think there has been an average of 13+ pages daily the last couple of weeks. Simply too much for me to keep up on. I do hope all is well with everyone.

Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday Chris!

Whats up CK !!!

Thanks, man!

Going along, singing a song and have been able to back off on the murderous thoughts I have to only a couple times a day. This is due largely to my interaction with the general public being trimmed down to nearly nil.

I've been watching your build thread and things are coming along nicely. I do like that you're taking you time, making things exactly how you want them and doing it right.
 
Morning.
Went to Nimbus fish hatchery yesterday but it has not opened yet.
The salmon and steehead are stacking up like cordwood waiting for the gate to open.
It usually opens around the first of November.
Good fishing downstream from the hatchery on the American river about 8 miles from the house.

Morning Sven !
 
Probably the best I've ever heard it stated.

Bullseye Watl GIF by Sweet Axe Throwing Co.
Thanks..
I am just a no nonsense tell it like it like I see it guy.
Yes some people can't handle the truth..and I don't care about feelings...
Hmmm that ax throwing need work lol....a little more to the left and down...lol
 
I do not know if you are joking, or not, but the "g" in pierogi is not silent and definitely not pronounced the the "g" in gyro. The correct pronunciation is pyeh-roh-ghee with a slight roll on the "r".


Yeah, well, you're used to not being pretty so it should be no big deal for you.
You tell them Chris !
 
Yep..I don't have time for all that political, which side is better-noise-fighting-name bashing either. It just breeds hate, lies, bribery, felonies and sometime murder. But they feed on this 3 ring circus acts and stir up issues with people to keep us divided...
It should be one side united for all, about our Country and every person in it.
There I said my 2 cents worth, sorry but Kingranch is right..it is all kindergarden nonsence,
My work is filled with enough bad stuff so that's why I have a big tank and a place to retreat to with my friends...
Yes!!! This is perfect!
 
Thanks, man!

Thanks I am taking my time to eliminate mistakes, but I am sure I will...and someone will have a suggestion for me...which I will embrace..

Good morning Tom, ya I really enjoyed it as well!
 
A fuge is the best non-chemical method I know of but I don't care for chaeto. I prefer Red Gracilaria or Pom-Pom for a fuge.
See Tom but my problem with any cheato or sea grass is with my sump as it doesn’t move the cheato or sea grasses around for sunlight ( spot light ) . It always stays in one place and I have to move it around to get light . It always ends up causing more trouble that being good for the tank . I was hoping there was a better way than using chemicals .

Good morning Chris, the Hunkys and old Ukrainian woman in my town do o say it without the g perhaps a regional thing. It’s been awhile since I got to use this gif, have a great day! Ah, I found it, we are both right, the Polish pronounce it your way and Ukrainians my way. A lot more Ukrainians in my town than Poles.
