Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
What is your full stocking plan so far?
I don't have a complete list yet, I'm thinking 1 or 2 small tangs (if they get too big my dad said he'll keep them) 2 or 3 wrasses, I'm thinking a couple of anthias, a couple of cardinals maybe, 1 longnose hawkfish maybe, I haven't decided yet
 
What a week. I'm glad everyone is okay and safe. Now I get a two day break until I am back. Hopefully by then this person is caught. But who knows. I hope everyone enjoys their Friday night. Be safe, please.

Got you in my prayers Walker and my guns are locked and loaded if you need me!

Glad you get a couple of days.
I'm praying it's all over afterwards.
Praying for you every day Walker.
 
Apologies everyone!
Been a crazy busy week so far.
This is traditionally one of our slowest weeks after the kids go back to school but evidently no one got the message.
I usually get a few slow days which this old body needs. Sheesh.
Hope y'all are having a great Friday night!
 
What actually happened Kev?
IDK ( that is I don’t know for you older reefers) I think it was the chemicals from the dry cleaning of the couch next to my tank.

Sorry my friend.
Everything else OK in there?
 
Doing good over here! Just got back from a funeral for an old family friend since my parents couldn't attend (they're on a cruise in Nova Scotia...). Got home and another friend had delivered dinner via Meal Train after my wife's surgery. Chicken fajitas with a delightful chicken aioli.

Sounds like there's brownies for dessert!
 
Good morning everyone! Had the most amazing dream that I stopped at a yard sale and in the garage the guy had tons of aquariums filled with both fresh and saltwater inhabitants and I offered him $200 for all of it and he took it! It was enough to seriously open up a store. Then I woke up...
