Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Do you link it through audible or Amazon?
I was looking now because I didn't remember but I see that that changed, now you have to pay a monthly fee, before it was included in the Prime payment, anyway go to Amazon and search for Audible and it will come up there, anyway the payment of almost $8 dollars comes with a lot of books included, you have to go there to see if it suits you, there I saw that a payment of 15 monthly gives you one point per month and one point is one book of your choice

I have the one where you get one credit a month. I like listening to them while I work when I'm doing something that really doesn't require my full focus and when I'm going for a walk.
 
Do you use audible or is there something better or cheaper out there that I don't know about?
I have Overdrive - it's our library app so it's free. The audio book side might be lacking though. I've never "rented" an audio book, only ebooks.
 
This guy keeps kidnapping my corals :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Was going to get a tuxedo, but if memory serves, had one drag a bunch of stuff across one of my acrylic tanks and decided never again!
 
Busy day for me how it go for y'all?

Save a couple for me I'll be right over. ;)
 
Just sitting here. Been relaxing pretty much all day. Swapped the RFA over to the 70 and am currently dripping the last coral from the old tank - a John Deere Leptastrea. It's not looking too good but already seems happier just dripping in the 70.

We've got a vote at church tonight and then we're driving north out of town to catch some meteor shower. Maybe I'll tear down the old tank and start setting up the 90 planted tank tomorrow.

Motivation. I'ma need some!
 
No pics but berry smoothie loaded with spinach for dinner. Unusual but delicious.
My daughter made some Mac and cheese with bacon, corn, and peas for lunch. Dinner is still undecided.
 
Good morning y'all!
Happy Friday!

There's another one I'd put in the hall. Andrew Jones could go in on his glove alone in my opinion.
