Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You were uncommonly quiet tonight ~ you feeling ok?
Ya, still wasn’t feeling great, crazy day at work, got home late and felt wiped out. Nothing a good night sleep can’t fix. Thanks for asking.
 
Good night!

I'm spending some night hours in the office adding berghia and copepods to the tank at lights out!
Wait - what you doing late in office - shouldn’t you be resting after a week of clone sickness wars?!?

Did I miss the update on how everyone is doing?

I think pajamas contest is what the dr ordered - you could reschedule a couple of the last appointments of the day. I know you won’t due to your high work ethic; it’s built into our generations DNA. But it’s ok to do so…

Your body has been through a lot this week.

Think I need to ground both you and @JoJosReef to your rooms!

It’s a walk in clinic, no appointments to reschedule but Saturdays are only 6 hours as apposed to 9 hour week days. I only wear pajamas when I go to Walmart! Yes, please put me in a time out, please please please!
 
Touché Joel!

I walked into a Walmart once in my life in the late evening; went to end of store as as I was desperate for a sports equipment piece for my son’s game the next morning. Went to register and could not get out of there fast enough - and no, wasn’t wearing pajamas at the time.

Scary customers, depressing lighting, and just too darn large - I’m not a browser, it’s go straight to items, get to register, get out for me.

Sorry, not looking to get banned...

All our starts had to be in the ground 2-3 months ago. We waited and didn't get a garden this year.

I planted the seeds about 15 days ago, my mother-in-law has one that is beautiful and produces many peppers, they gave us a bag and from there I took the seeds and put them in the sun for 2 days and then I planted them
