What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

The goats are giving birth early this year first kids just dropped. It’s always been on Valentine’s Day that they start to give birth but not this year and first time for twins.

We've considered goats but something about living in the city...

Yeah they can be way to loud for neighbors…lol
Sometimes they scream at me.
Luckily have no neighbors and way out in the woods.

Your tank is massive and awesome! I'd love to have something expensive and unique like that. And as a father myself, it is SO cool to see how involved your kids are. Job well done my friend. Good luck in mariner of the month as well!

I left it because I had already spent the money my wife gave me for today lol, I know he's there and I wanted to ask you first and I didn't see him eat either.
