Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Because the word Indian is so racist and offensive (?) a name change was in order especially because the Cleveland baseball team was the first MLB to have a Native American major league baseball player on its team. I fully support the Samali pirates that are offended and want the Pittsburgh baseball team to change their name and the Norwegians who want t Minnesota football team to change their name as their depiction of of a viking incorrectly depicted one with a helmet with horns. Vikings never wore helmets with horns.
It was all about politics and the all star game. They threatened the Braves and they didn't bow down. They lost the all star game BUT that team is run very smartly and is the new model. They will always be the tribe to me.

BTW I have been reading through this thread as well. I love the trigger. Just a few pages in but it's a fantastic thread.

Welcome to chaos Becky! The people here are super nice! Well, except me, but you already know me so...
 
HAH! Bet he can’t grow huge birdsnest colonies someday!!
Kevin? He could never. That's something only people who went to private schools can do.
 
But... But... I went to public school and even went to public college.
Well... you are one in a million, so congrats!
 
Hey Smorgs!

Coming up for air and checking-in!

I’m finally home (rolled-in on 4th of July afternoon).

Settling in, and looking at my sweet lil reef (everything is off the charts in growth and fishies chonky and being good citizens). I’m amazed at what happens when you walk away for a few weeks.

I’ll be doing home PT/OT for next month. But will start to blog later this week. Got some TSA contest stuff to finish up!

I’ll get back to being a Smorg/Cafe regular:

‘NORM”

Sammy says “how’s it going’?

Norm says, ‘Well Sammy, it’s a dog eat dog world….

‘And I’m wearing milk bone underwear’…


Favorite Norm line of all time!

Stay salty
