Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
BP read 180/109 this morning... Wonder why I've been having headaches....
Damiiit Tim! You know if I’m coming out of rest mode to post, I’m not joking!

Call dr in the morning- don’t want to hear the BS from him/her that “well, could be stress, that could cause migraines that could cause high BP….

And I think it’s time for the entire Smorgasbord seniors to start eating better (including me). If you actually read all the posts about the crap food we eat - it’s kinda scary.

We can still eat delicious foods, just healthier. The Blue Zone recipes are great - I always feel energized by them.

Ok, big sis is going back to bed.

Yes some appear too high but the tank is so new I'd just let er ride keep doing what you're doing.
I'll study it a bit more later when fully awake but I still think it's just a new tank. :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Some of the stuff on there I've never tested for in my life.
