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

Heading out to see the new Paddington in a little bit for my son's birthday. But first, Bubba's 33 for lunch. I'm thinking the Habanero Burger?
Have fun and a picture of the burger is a must!
 
40 minutes and Corals.com is 25 minutes but they only do shipping and the shipping costs are the same for me as you. It makes difficult for me to pay the shipping from a place so close, great vendor though.
Wow, I'd live at tidal gardens. I'd love to meet Than!

I’ve been there a few times and never saw him, I try to buy as much as I can from my lfs.
 
I saw this on my porch and for a minute I got all excited and then I realized I hadn’t ordered anything live. Just my months worth of shots. :disappointed-face:

Well I guess I’ll be driving to the Akron area on Friday. I send Than all of your love.
Send him my address! Please Tell him my days for receiving corals are Wednesday and Thursday!

Forgot the picture again John, for the past five years I’ve been wanting to ask my family physician to increase my dementia medication but I keep forgetting. :zany-face:

Maybe it's a sign it is time to order something live...
 
Well, my son picked up a free swimming water fish. Wyoming white or frostbite? ( I remembered the picture John!)

Both are absolutely beautiful! My gold hammer is fasest growing and I just fragged 7 heads and you can’t even tell. Ya, you could probably say that I have never been a good influence on anyone. Can’t wait to see that plate in your tank.
