What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Sorry I don’t eat anything sweet, that includes all desserts. Bring on the hate. I can always find a thread that excepts me for who I am, I hope.
We would never except you Kevin. Accept? Absolutely.

Man it makes it all worth it, to see the kid's faces look like that in front of the tank. You did that. And you put that there for them to enjoy.

My firefish was out again tonight!!

He's terrified of my exquisite wrasse, and anytime the wrasse goes near him, my fireifsh darts into its hiding spot for a long time.

I hope he adapt soon but I don't know why they are such skittish fish.
 
Long day today but decent. Just got home from the East side. Dinner and a Monk Movie coming up! It's leftover pizza, so definitely not exciting pictures, sorry...
