Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well, I went to the reefer’s candy store today. All frags are gone and I got this lovely little acan for free. I called before I went and they had two sixline wrasses. But once I got there, out of the corner of my eyes I saw a splash of yellow. I thought don’t do it, when full grown my tank will probably be to small for it. Then I became one of those people, you all know them , I’ll be upgrading next year so it will be fine until then.

You'll be happier with the chrysus! They are great fish and team players.

Good to hear, thank you. In my nearly two decades of reefing I’ve only had sixlines, pretty much all of it. I guess it was time to change it up.

They are lovely!
 
It's not though. As the supervisor it's my job to ensure we're successful throughout the year. When they take my operating funds to pay for other projects, I can't complete my own projects. This is the second time this fiscal year (started July 1) that they've made me take my crew, my materials, and my O&M funds to fix something for a different department. That means I now have to perform my annual workload technically in less time and for less money.
Well that is just awful!
 
Just released him/her.

Her. She'll become a him later. She'll start getting green and pink stripes on her face when she's transitioning.

So it’s not just us humans that can identify as any gender we want?
 
Bean Burrito enchilada style with a side of Mexican rice chased with a Jamaica and a splash of sprite.
 
@WalkerLovesTheOcean how did the pups do while you were gone. I bet they did a little dance when you walked through that door.

Wrasses are notorious for that! Of course, clowns are too :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
