Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Gosh, I must be in the twilight zone- are u talking the wedding in SoCal?
Yes Jennifer we leave July 5th.
I have the wedding, one outfit and the dinner the night before with brides parents, whom I've never met, and my ex wife, whom I've talked to 4 times in 25 years.
I'm sooooo not excited and supposedly t-shirts are not allowed????
What?
Stupid rule there
But my wife and I are staying an extra day so I can wear my t-shirt then. ;)
This is the first time my wife and I are going away without the kids in 21 years.
 
What a beautiful shot! And the blenny posing nicely as usual
I swear that I think he likes the camera lol, he sees that I put the phone near the tank and he always goes to the front, sometimes when I want a photo of a specific coral I have to wait for him to move lol

A lot of emotions and memories packed into this one!

Focus on the wife and you - the universe will throw some curve balls (pun intended); but stay in the moment with her.

I’ll be back inSoCal by then. I realize due to privacy and the event itself we likely won’t see each other in person. But if there was any way to cross paths going thru a Starbucks while in route somewhere, it would be very nice.

Just tell her this old grandma wants to give you a reefing sticker for you tank stand - hehe.
 
Don't even think about it.. anytime I went to pick her up her lights were out and no answer from the door. It's a waste of time! Have any explaing to do, Amanda?
The only explanation is I like to sleep...
 
My apologies y'all my son is getting married in 2 weeks and I had to go buy a pair of pants and a shirt.
Nothing but wally world here so off I went...
It’s good that you will be wearing pants at your son’s wedding. Thanks for the tip, I’ll keep that in mind for my daughter’s wedding next year. It would probably not occurred to me.

I know what you mean Luis.
