Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
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:
I think you just have to remember to eat the tacos and forget the rest.

Good morning everyone, I didn't remember about the time change and everything is so dark lol
They need to get rid of the time change! I believe that Hawaii and most of Tim’s state doesn’t recognize daylight savings time.

They never do Amanda, is it just me or did this build come along fast?

I get up @2 AM and this morning luckily I set some alarm I don't remember and my phone said 3.
I could barely get up and go to work I was weirdly exhausted.
 
On my way ;)
