Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Woah... that's scary. Glad you're okay.
Some good citizen pulled a gun on a bad citizen and asked us to call the cops. Cops show up with lights blazing and train guns on everything and everyone until all firearms are secured, then tell us to move but stay close for questions. More to the story than that, but that's the gist of it.
 
Oh man I that I missed it. Yes it sure is a lot of work, especially stirring the roux and all that chopping. I bet it was delicious though
It’s the Wild West in Arizona! Were there robbing a stagecoach?
 
What's everyone doing for the 4th?
Tomorrow I plan to have a bbq, I don't know if we'll look for some fireworks but we'll see tomorrow, I thought I would rest tomorrow but my dad is going on vacation and I have to cover

We are having a cookout but we won't go see fireworks too many people and too much traffic.
 
Not sure if you all remember me but I used to be rather active on this thread a while back. Unfortunately Independence Day falls on my day off, still a 5 day work week. I’ll be getting things done around the house as I won’t be off again until Sunday. Tank maintenance day, just a water change. I’ll pick up my mother and at some point fire up the grill, I noticed steaks in the fridge. Probably in bed before fireworks as I have to work the next day. Kevin’s July 4th tip of the day, after lightning the firework throw it or set it down and get clear distance. Never keep holding it after lighting it. Stay safe and have fun peeps. I’ll be back on this thread next July for another tip.
