Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
True but I would rather kill it for all the frustration I've had.
It's basically the same design as the new one... Compare the two and you might be able to sell the old one or donate it to a new reefer?
 
Sorry guys, dead battery in my phone and I won't be home for an hour or 3. Good night!!!
 
Yes it has!!!
Sometimes you put what you need out there and it finds its way to you. That reminds me, I need a waterbox 150.4 with all the equipment and plumbing to the basement for automatic water changes, 70 lbs of live rock, sufficient sand and enough coral to cover all the new rock. Fingers crossed, let’s see what happens.

I actually do believe that - quantum physics is my jam. Cause it’s basically the spiritual universe explained through science. Like, attracts like. What you think/project comes right back to you. A prayer circle- that is global.., Energy!

One of my favorite authors, Michael Crieghton, wrote about quantum physics in his book, “Timeline”. All of his books started with cutting edge science that wasn’t widely known to the public yet. Andromeda Strain!!! Sorry, I digress.


So I do see a new tank for our friend Kevin

I appreciate that but that is not how my life works, I defy physics! I do believe that prayer is why I’m alive today though.

Whatever it is I'm glad I got to meet you.
Whatever it is you defy just keep on doing that, and, like I said before, I'll ALWAYS leave the light on for ya ;)

I’m glad to have you as a friend! Not to be negative but I ordered from your restaurant using grubhub again and the food was great and the presentation was awesome but it was cold again and it took two days to get here. I know grubhub takes some of the responsibility but I thought you should know. Can’t wait to have everyone for March Madness! I know @Calmwaters is excited she is such a huge basketball fan. I’ll soon be fragging all the frogspawn for you all to take home.

Too funny! I think we both have defied physics at this point! And yes, prayer is indeed why I’m still here.

That global prayer circle I mentioned- I was blessed with that in the beginning of my “journey”, and it set off a foundation woven into my dna, that I like to think pulsates with the love of everyone who participated.

Ok, sorry. Back to reefing.

Thought I got that out of state thing fixed.

On a different note…

I am really getting excited about taking photos of my DT and its inhabitants now that I have something to show. I am horrible at taking pictures and only gave my old iPhone. I’m reading the R2R photography forum to learn. I don’t have the dexterity for holding and using iPhone for photos, but am giving it a shot.

HOWEVER, if I were to consider purchasing an automatic, easy to use, not expensive camera- does anyone have any ideas? I would also use for grandchildren photos.

Shoot over a few photos anyways!
All my photos suck so you gotta do better than me! :)
I'd love to see them.
As far as cameras go driving my truck to the store is hard for me so a camera would be rocket science.

I have a Canon Sureshot that I love. I need to get it out and try it on tank shots to see how it does. I will try to do that tomorrow. I have to go for jury duty tomorrow for the first time ever so I'm going since it's close to home I will get home earlier than I normally do.
