Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My tank maintenance day is Fridays since my wife works a 12 hour shift and I don’t get that look, I suppose all of you that are married know the look. It is saying that there are so many other things that you should be doing instead.
Several times a day when I look at the tank, imagine when I get to work on it lol
 
Morning Kev!
Good morning Joel! How was work yesterday with the terrible weather? I hope you have a good day today, lots of revenue but with a relaxing day.

Yesterday was good Kev!
Steady, just enough business to not wear me out.
I hate being thrashed on Saturday then do it again Sunday.
Weather had been wierd.
Honestly all I try to do is not fall down everything is frozen solid and super slippery.

First time I've ever heard that.

My new addiction lol....
Hawkwind's first album was excellent. I'm definitely digging Roll Mega as well. Nothing is better than finding awesome new jams!
 
Thank you I’m still learning here on reef2reef and I’m just trying to help.

My problem is that I struggle to keep up with all the fish disease posts, and when they are not in the proper format and location, it makes that more difficult.
