Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ok, very bizarre! So I was looking in my tank ( do any of you do that?) and I noticed a conch eye coming out of the hole in it’s shell, remember I thought it was dead, and another eye where it is supposed to be. Maybe it just wanted a sunroof? :astonished-face:

Pretty rough Luis I think I'm getting too old for this restaurant stuff.
Got my butt handed to me today.
How was your day?
Don't say that my friend, there are only some days more difficult than others, nothing more, you have the joy of working with your family and having a beautiful day despite everything, Also, whenever you have a bad day, you come here and we talk a little and how it helped me with my recent problem, believe me, it can help everyone.
 
I don't know if it's my place to do this but I feel like we're family here, Jojo's dog passed away today, in his tank thread there's the news so if all of you want to stop by.

Yes we are family here.
Thanks for this Luis.

You made my day.

I hope I have done that like you did with me when I had my family's situation, I have sometimes written things badly because of the language lol and many times I get lost for hours because of work, but I want anyone in this family to be able to count on me for anything, you don't know how much you guys and gals helped me in my difficult moment and I will remember that as long as I live.

I was looking at the photo and thinking if you could get a new shell and see if it can change

How was your day?
I know it would have made our Sunday, for all of us to just start walking thru your restaurant doors in mass, throwing on some aprons, telling you to have a seat cause we got this!

Heck, it would have made our year! So frustrating not to be able to do that for you.

But knowing you not only have an awesome family by your side and the Smorgy’s who would do anything within their power…

Well, That is a true cup runnuth over life - and so many can’t say that.

I do think you need some outside help though- reality in this business is age does matter on the line; chefs can only do it for so long.

Happy to help source/interview/recruit if you need me too. Most of my hires have been remote once I recruited past corporate office. Zoom is my friend. Muhahaha.

And Luis said it better and more concise then me - smart young man indeed!

I don’t think they switch out shells like hermits because they make their own but if they make their own and it grows when they do perhaps it can repair it?

Interesting question! Let's see if Google can help us

I’m crying reading this. Like I’m reading something from my son. Just want to give you a big mom hug.
