Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Been a slow day at work finally today so I took advantage and upgraded my office tank from an 8 gallon cube to a 16 gallon one. Doesn't look like much right now but hopefully it will clear soon. For now my fish are in a bucket waiting for the tank to clear. Right now it's going to be home to my betta, 6 Chili Rasbora and 10 ghost shrimp. Planning to add 4 more Chili Rasbora and maybe a group of 10 green neon tetras, or green Kubotai Rasbora.

Keep us posted on that one. I'm loving this new reefing adventure, but my Freshwater nostalgia is loving this. I'm a big fan of the stock list.
 
Celebrated my last infusion with a Hardees Swiss mushroom burger, it is finally open.

Hey folks, leaving vacation tomorrow. Haven't been able to post alot on here, so here is a quick update on a few things:

1) My grandfather got his surgery to remove the infected toe. Everything went well; except they had to remove much more than theu thought.

2) My friend who was involved in the shooting went to the ER because she felt she was leaning to the left. Turns out she has a brain tumor. Her daughter went through the same thing. Luckily, her daughters were uncancerous, and they believe my friends are too.

3) Heading to St. Louis on Thursday. The following Thursday I drive up to Michigan to visit my family and their lake house.

Glad your grandfathers surgery went well. I will keep your friend in my prayers, benign hopefully. I went to school in St. Louis, if it’s not to hot, which I doubt this time of year, they have a beautiful zoo that is free. What part of Michigan, I was born in Grand Rapids and my parents were from Cadillac?
