Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
just a few months. its really happy now since i got rid of a couple of fish that were tormenting it! hows yours doing?
So far so good. I've only had them for about 5 days lol. They got delayed overnight in New Orleans, it was extremely hot but some how they survived. They sure do love to eat.

These are the coolest corals I've ever seen. That feeding reaction is crazy.
 
It has been a crazy Hurricane season down here. We've had two major Hurricanes in two weeks, and yes there is another one forming in the same place expected to take a very similar track. :(
 
oh i got mixed up! i was thinking it was linlox that got them. yes, they are lovely! yours are really neat!
Thank you! Same to you. Do you spot feed yours very often?
My orange lens comes in today, so I can stop bombarding you guys with blue pics lol
 
Pork steaks, a staple when we lived in St. Louis. Probably the most popular protein on the grill out there.

Healthy envy hahaha, enjoy friends, are you going to use it today Tim?
Probably not. Currently I'm trying to fall asleep on the couch.

I texted her earlier telling her we were all worried and just wanted to know if she was OK. I haven’t heard back from her.
 
Now I called her but it sent me straight to voicemail, she must not have battery on her cellphone.
Ya I called earlier also, straight to voicemail.
