Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
After seeing this picture, I’m afraid of cows! Tim wants a cow, if he sees this picture he might not want one.
That wasn’t even the big one. The big one shoved its whole head in the car, pushed my son on law into his seat and stole the bag if feed lol.

I hope you pressed charges! Your poor grandson, that would be scary.
 
Could l ask you all fine peeps a flavor, vanilla? I know, I know I’m on here always asking something from you, as I promised the last time, this will be the last time I ask a favor. Every once in awhile would you pop over to the thread where I’m selling coral, maybe a compliment on how they look or what a great deal yada yada yada, just to keep it alive so I don’t have to keep bumping it? If you keep it going until they are sold, just like I promised last time, I’ll leave this thread for ever and never come back! ;)

It was a park with lights. We knew that there were deer, didn’t know about the cows. And we didn’t know the cows would be so pushy. Russ did feed the deer and was enjoying that until the cow pictured above came by. Sadly there’s nothing we could do because people know the animals are out there.

Once we got to the part with the petting zoo (he still didn’t want anything to do with the animals except the bunnies and piggies) he was happy and even smiled for Santa.
