Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
i have my hands full with my 3! but have been eyeing a fourth....i need to learn that just because i can handle something doesnt mean i can keep adding until i cant:rolleyes:. i love dogs! do you raise them?
A few of our hunting beagles are ones we have bred but all the others that are just pets are rescues except 1 and she's a retired hunting dog.
 
Your white dog is kinda odd looking...
Well I know it’s hard to believe but it was actually a cat. 5-6 years ago he began identifying as a dog. My wife and I embraced his decision especially since he didn’t request any hormone replacement or surgery. I actually believe he thinks he is a dog. He loves every dog we bring in the house and absolutely hates cats.

You know it!! The guy was a converted catcher that ended up winning 5 straight gold gloves as an outfielder and 4 straight silver slugger awards. You know your baseball sir! That made my day. Now I guess we can go back to talking about reefing again. Lol
