Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It should have come with directions, I add the pods directly to my DT after lights out with my wave maker off for a short period to allow them to get into the rock and sand.
Me too.
 
Ahhhh Kev! My heart! That was what, 150 lbs of pure love coming your way?! He was sitting as best he could - hehe. And his paws are bigger then your entire foot!

Thank you so much for sharing - it’s a very special moment
You know how you have a dog and it takes to a certain person? My current dog is my wife’s. This dog was mine. Big but a snuggle bug. My favorite dog ever. In the video there is our little dog. When my kids were little they wanted to hold our golden retrievers leash but he could nearly pull me off my feet. My wife wanted a little dog for the kids to walk. Of course I said no. I cleaned the yard and took the dogs to the vet. She insisted and I put my foot down and said no. We compromised and got the little dog, was my daughter’s dog. The little dog became the alpha. When the little dog was eating and my burnese mountain dog came up it would growl and bark and my burnese would go lay down until the other was done. He was such a gentle giant. My all time favorite, I miss him.
 
Is that you Joel?
I wish I was that handsome Jenn! :rolleyes:
That's a picture of Mike Schmidt when he was drafted in 1971.
He was an incredible ball player!
