What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good night everyone I stayed up way too late last night watching the coral auction.
Good night Amanda! Little by little the tank is looking full of life
 
Aww Jen, this is so sweet. I will be thinking of you all day. Stay comfortable at the hospital. Make sure you stay hydrated and well rested post surgery; it will make you feel alot better. Sending lots of love, hugs, and prayers your way.
Thank you Walker!
 
Here’s one from Genesis with Peter Gabriel as lead vocals. I’m sorry, I’m done after this and will leave the thread permanently. Did I just hear cheers?
 
I guess I’m the oldest here or the only die hard Genesis fan. I bet @00W would know.
I always get Robert Plant and Peter Gabriel mixed up - don’t know why though.

Come on Jen I expect more from you, it’s not like you have anything else on your mind!

I actually can’t even use that as an excuse- I mix these guys and one other all the time.

Not permanently, just until you wake up!

I need to give you all a permanent break from Kevin! You all lasted a lot longer than anyone else ever did, kudos!
 
Calling it an early night.

Need to rest brain so I can actually fall asleep later and maybe gets some REM.

Taking Uber to hospital at 5am PST.

Night All.
As my pm said I have your back. Sleep tight and sweet dreams.
 
Good night peeps.

Good night Kev!
See you in the morning!
And yes, I knew the answers.
Fell asleep in my chair.
Here's my favorite one just for you.
 
All,
I just spoke to my brother who will be receiving updates on surgery from UCSF. He will be at the hospital by the time I’m in recovery too.

He is the opposite of me when it comes to communication- so if it’s ok, he will text Kevin the updates.

Kev, I will DM you the other phone numbers to do a group text.

I apologize for any inconvenience- it’s a bit embarrassing but i didn’t want to not communicate since you all asked.

Kev - I owe you a taco and a genesis concert!
