Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I used to take my daughter and hold her face down in my palm laying across my arm when she was little like that and crying. Standing outside in the cool air rocking her ever so slightly and she'd fall asleep fast. Unfortunately it never worked for my wife - her face was too big for my palm and she was too long to fall asleep on my arm when I was standing up.
Yeah, all the little tricks for the colicky ones - especially going outside.

I did put nice warm water in sink, stuck a huge bathtowel in there and put Gia in the water fully clothed. Slowly put water on her head and over entire body. She instantly became transfixed and calm. But alas, the water cooled and had to take her out. Crying began, but was able to get her snuggly in dry Jammies and tight burrito wrap and got her to sleep for 40 minutes. Then Dada showed up to take kids home - whew!
 
Ugh, I cannot sleep. I have a rash on my arm that is sooooo itchy. I guess I got it from brushing my arm against something while being outside. So annoying! I hate all the mosquito bites, ticks, and rashes that I get from being outside. Do you have ticks where you guys live? I sure do and they suckkkk.

I don't want to put mosquito socket because of the tank, I got bite several times every single day and my little one too. I hate them so much right now, even this morning already got bite on both legs. It is the only reason I am waiting summer so no more.

We have them here out in the woods up north but very few and far between. Deer Ticks seem to be the most common in Arizona but I've never found one yet.

Yes we do, I used to have to remove them from my boys all the time if they had been in fields or woods. Seresto collars keep them off my dog and cat.
