Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
People watching? How many are in their pajamas?
Ummm... It gets hot here, our pajamas can get us arrested if we wear them in public... :winking-face: :cool:
 
I don't think you are allowed in without them are you??
Idk ( thats I don’t know for all you older reefers) but it’s the only place I feel comfortable to wear my PJs outside the house. ;)

Got it. Just float for 15 minutes then do a small water change in it's bag wait 8-10 minutes then release?
You should check out Pacific East Aquaculture, a lot of nice corals for $5.99!
 
Night everyone! Morning Remi! Made it to Lake Charles. Next stop New Orleans!
Good night Jojo, have fun! I’m missing some more food pictures, I know you’re eating on your trip!
 
@Calmwaters
Amanda are you doing OK?
Hi guys yes just trying to revive from over doing it yesterday working on Lacy's barn while still being sick. I have slept off and on in my recliner because I cough a lot when I lay down. I'm going to see one of the doctors at work tomorrow to see if they can give me anything for the cough. I already have cough medicine with codeine in it but it's not stopping it. Thank you for checking in on me. How's everyone here?
