Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Shrooms are harder than nems for me when it comes to keeping them where I want them. I currently have a red rhodactis blowing around the tank that I haven't had time to mess with.
It's not that it moved, he's stuck to a rock, that's why I think one of the Mexican turbos knocked him down because they've already done it to me before. I have a Fl rhodactis that I have had from the beginning and it has never moved.

They will start splitting or making babies, and then it's game on!
 
Good night everyone heading to bed early I have a horrible migraine I'm hoping to sleep off.
Oh Amanda so sorry!
Good night peanut get some rest!

My wife wouldn't let me get this one though:

She thought it looked too much like the scene from Titanic so it was "inappropriate". :face-with-tears-of-joy:
Tim, this is a serious thread, please reverse course!
 
Sorry jumping in late, my wife is the same way, I’ll get home and my bath is drawn with rose petals around the bath, my chilled mug of beer is sitting next to the tub and then I notice the scented candles aren’t my favorite ones! Or after she cleans up dinner andshe is 35 minutes into my right foot massage and moves on to my left foot! She knows I want 40 minutes on each foot! Sheez it’s frustrating!!!!!!!!!
 
Found it!!, Not going to happen, not in my watch, I don't really like the box but for now it stays there :grinning-face: :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
