Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ya, your marriage is never going to work. Be the first to get the divorce attorney and make sure he includes the tank as one of the things you get to keep. :winking-face: Good luck!
I'm the bread winner, I get my fish tank and she gets toast, and sandwiches, all sorts of bread things. One day I hope to make good money too :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
I learned tonight my wife and I have polar opposite tastes in corals :face-with-tears-of-joy: I like acan lords, scolys, favia, and she like duncans, and polypy soft corals lol
So you're a house divided... my brother and his wife are a house divided during football season he is a cowboys fan and I can't remember what team she roots for but I think it was broncos or something. I'm not a sports person lol.
 
Of a little puppy only the memory remains lol, beautiful
Hit 39° today! Got to walk outside without even wearing a hoodie this afternoon lpl

I disagree i think it's great because it means they just have to have two or more tanks...
 
She did say she liked some of the euphyllia. But I sent her like 18 corals on liveaquaria and of the 18 she picked my 4 least favorite ones :face-with-tears-of-joy:
Well now you know what to get her for birthday, Christmas, Anniversary....

Our birthdays are coming up in a few months :thinking-face:
 
Hi I'm Amy :)
Oh I see what you did there. I promise, I almost said "it's Amy Kevin just spelt eymi" :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
I wish they were cheap too! Lol man I love scolys
Love scolys too. I think we're getting better at captive breeding them, so prices may go down. But because of how slow growing they are and how high of a demand they have, the prices may not change much.
