Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
This is what it’s all about right here my Granddaughter, 4 years old in November she’s so smart!!

And I love that too. So cute!
 
Thank you! He has gained back the weight he had lost and his hoofs are doing better as well. He's a sweet boy and I'm so glad I have him. I had given up being able to ever have a horse again and I feel beyond blessed to have that part of me I was missing in my life again.
That is so awesome and you are such a great person for caring for the horse. Makes me what to cry. So happy for you that you have him in your life.
 
I'm going to send some pictures my wife took with her phone but my 12 year old daughter is reviewing them before texting the ones she thinks are best. Just what I want, my own censor (although I don't think she would care much if it wasn't her room, and she wasn't in the picture).
 
The start of the girl's bunkbeds.

Come to think of it, does anyone in the Smorgasbord have a Lobo or am I going to finally have an exclusive? :eek: :face-with-tears-of-joy: :face-with-tears-of-joy:
I have one! Unfortunately it is currently being entirely shaded by a huge toadstool, but hoping it makes it to the upgrade to give it its own space.
 
Night everyone! Good morning @Remi @John Doe !
I love that no matter what time it is there is always someone here just like the Veterans crisis line but so much better because Y'all don’t take me to the top floor.
