Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You are doing nothing wrong Luis.
Your tank is to die for.
Many many years ago, maybe before you were born, but not in a galaxy far far away, I had a very large tank with 2 large angels.
They lived for years.
I always kept a cleaner wrasse with them.
Many I would find in the sump some in the overflow, occasionally on the floor.
They like to jump.
They don't eat well.
What they DON'T tell you is they are hard fish to keep.
The sand well new sand sucks.
It does that.
That's why I don't have any.
It will get better. No worries.
Keep your head up.
Your positive vibe keeps this old man going every day and if I lived closer I'd partake in a Heineken with you and we'd get it all sorted out.
The lights are always on for all of you

@tbrown Do you have a 3D printer?
I do but I have to work on it. Haven't printed in a few months because it was giving bad prints i need to recalibrate I'm pretty sure.

Just a little idea, if you saw the link I posted today about the filter sock silencers, the guy has a page that sells only 3d printed stuff, the point is, if you get the machine working, and start printing things on demand you can make some extra money, I assure you that the #SmorgasbordFamily would buy from you first before anyone else, I would buy from you
 
I know. But I've got lots of friends on here already printing and selling. I usually just print things I need and my wife needs. I haven't ever gotten it dialed in enough to really print sellable items.
 
@kingranch2003 @smitten with ocean life
This hashtag was created by Walker for the Smorgasbord family, I don't know if you are already following it but you are already part of the family, come in and follow the hashtag and any member who uses it, we will all notice. #SmorgasbordFamily ;)

I understand your values and respect them Tim, but no one in the Smorgasbord family buys from your friends ( I think ). I'm the first to volunteer to test something you print, of course only if you let me pay for it. It's a good side job and you will only do it if we needed something. Who knows what the future holds.
 
Joe was one of my favorites.
I wasn't into the big red machine per se but Joe was rad.
He was tiny but mighty.
Also one of the nicest men to ever play.
I grew up listening to him announcing the giants games in the bay area.
 
@tbrown no rush though but I have already a couple ideas yo can print me lol, You in? I can take the measurements of what I need and we'll start from there ;)
 
I have several things I need to print, I just have to take the time to reset the print table and get it back in balance.

I don't want to pressure you my friend, I just thought of you when I bought the silencers, and that it is extra money but if you don't feel comfortable doing it I understand you, I just leave the idea there ;)
 
Okay so my little buddy here had an issue with his bum so he's now got to wear this cone for a few weeks.

He's doing well just bummed about the bum.

What happened to that beauty?
 
What happened to that beauty?
Evidently he had a gland rupture in his rear and they had to go in and surgically fix it.
They completely knocked him out to do it and he's small so he's still out of it but can bark. ;)
Like usual.
So we know he's fine.
 
I am very happy with the results, did you buy?
Thanks for posting those Luis I've been wanting something like that for ever.
Didn't even know they made them.
 
Good night peeps, Amanda, good night peanut, sleep tight! Not looking good for my Gaurdians tonight :crying-face: !
