Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You will likely be even more sore tomorrow- please rest and take some anti-inflammatory.

Did you get checked by a dr?

Sorry - mom mode has kicked in. And I know your a very independent woman and might not have done so.
I did get checked out. No, I didn't want to. Lol.
 
I'm ok. Just a lot of cuts from the glass. I'm blessed for sure. Defensive Driving paid off.
Scary for sure, I’m glad you didn’t get injured worse! Is your limo driver ok too?
 
Good morning peeps! Here is a picture of my tank this morning, enjoy!

Good example of what they did to our "BUILD THREADS"... " "Tank Thread" ehh... :rolleyes: ;)
 
Hi everyone! @Katrina71 so glad you are OK! Been a busy morning for me soon as I got up showered and got ready to drive my son to Asheville to meet up with one of his aunts on his dad's side so they could go to the huge flea market in SC. Then to Walmart to get a birthday present for my adorable great nephew that's turning one. Also picked up this cute little pink fridge to put in my office to keep my lunch in since the little fridge there is always full.

Tell your son to have fun! I LOVE flea markets, but I banned myself from ever going to one again. I ALWAYS buy stuff I don't need. Last time I came back with a megalodon tooth... :rolleyes:

Last night's eye of the storm. Did you all miss the Northern Lights? If so the show continues world wide until Sunday night between 10:00pm and 2:00am.
Not much Northern Lights down south where I live...

It was cloudy here last night. If yall still have solar eclipse glasses, look at the sun. You might be able to see the plasma erupting off of the sun.
