What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Congrats!
I'm going to be working as a care giver in an assisted living facility. It's PRN, but she was so excited and asked if I could start immediately. Lol. Apparently it's hard to find people that are trustworthy. It will at least give me time to
 
coffee time here...I slept all night...Have to change oil, install strobes new strobes in SUV and play with the rocks in the 300. Far right, naso can't fit through some openings and he is upset...Also, I guess the coris wrasse took out the pepermint shrims. SO I got a copper band butterfly yesterday. She is in acclamation tank.

makes me wants a chair, bourbon, cigar and my girl....and of course my trusted friends..
Yep to all that stuff ;)
 
The only picture I got is out after the win.
Love it!11 which one is you - important to know jersey number for signs held up in the bleachers!
 
I think 20 gallon water change should be good. I will do some more cleaning and siphon out GHA.

My hippo blue was always scared of it and would never take food from the grazer. Once I put the yellow tang it she started eating from it right away and the hippo blue followed.

Hmmm, I am only going to have the one tang. Hopefully the wrasse will start and tang will want it. I’m getting a new fish next week so, eventually somebody will like it.

I like making double dipped (dry stuff) pork chops in a pan... ok ok yes I can cook a few things besides BBQ...take the chop, flour dip, egg dip, panco dip with added garlic and Italian spices. Then 5 minutes on each side or until done in a little oil..They come out crusted and moist.. then some parsley fakes on top and grated parmesan and done..

Let him experience for the first time the deliciousness of a frozen TV dinner. Salisbury steak with gravy and a brownie, turkey, stuffing and smashed potatoes or perhaps, fried chicken with peas and carrots and an apple turnover. Mmmmmmmmmm
