Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Not much longer to do this in northeast Ohio, unlike Ca.
We're going out 2 times this week.
Only about 3 weeks left.
I hear you....

Yup, we're heading to Big Bear Lake in October for firstborn's bday--wants to camp and fish. Thataboy!
 
Sounds like fun! How old?
The clone will be turning 7. The wife's clone is 5, but seems to have inherited her lack of interest in fishing instead of mine.
 
That’s what I saw, fibula is non weight bearing. The better of the two to fracture but still not fun. I hope she feels better soon.
I was wrong. Both Tibia and Fibula have fractures.

Hard to see because they made me take a picture of the computer screen.
 
Ouch ouch, ya now you have a weight bearing bone. This will take longer, hopefully no surgery. Sorry Tim, I hope she recovers soon.
 
that looks soft! love the colors!
Thank you and it's very soft! I have always wanted a blanket made from soft fuzzy yarn and finally decided to learn how to crochet so I could make myself one. I also eventually want to make adorable stuffed animals and warm fuzzy socks.

I’m just being proactive, Good night peanut, sleep tight!

Cream cheese, bacon, Hatch green chilies, minced garlic, shredded Mexican cheese mix, sour cream, and medium Cilantro salsa. Creamy, sweet, spicy, and delicious all at the same time! Apples for the side.
