Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Everyone let me introduce you to Lacy! I met the black horse but we didn't click he was kind of standoffish and we had to kind of chase him to catch him. Lacy on the other hand stood right where she was and let us walk up to her and as I was checking her out she leaned her head on me. She is a Spotted Saddlebreed horse and they also have a smooth gait. I can't wait to bring her home when my fence is finished!

Absolutely beautiful Amanda, so happy for you! Mrs. Ed?
 
Some people around me can see the nortern lights but I can't. I think they're are too many trees. Here's pictures my friend took that lives near our church...

I'm sooooooo jelly Kev but awesome for you guys!
Take at least one Pic for me during the game.
I'd die to be there with you.
Awesome Kevin. I'm on the bandwagon. If they end up playing the Padres, I'll just pull for a tie. (Even though the Friars beat my Braves)
 
I forgot to tell everyone: this weekend is my daughter's deer hunt so I'll be up near the Grand Canyon with her. Likely no reception.
Is it bow season or primitive weapon for yall right now?
 
Good morning everyone

The smorg is on fire with some beautiful corals right now, guys/girls. Excellent work my friends! Keep it going!

Thanks John, my daughter wants to leave at 9:00 so we can hit a bar, ODG ( that’s oh dear god for you older reefers). This old guy is not in that type of drinking shape. Then at 7:30 pm my Buckeyes (5-0) welcome Oregon (5-0) to the Big Ten. It’s going to be a great sports day unless it’s not!

You've got this Kevin. Here's my over 40 drinking guide:
Beer, water, beer, water, water, water, sandwich, half a beer, nap, 7 day span beer. You can't lose and there will be no hangover (or fun).

Can I substitute a hotdog for the sandwich? After all I will be in the stadium. Speaking of substitutions, would substituting more beer instead of water work as well?
