Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Several of the wrasse people on here have recently been having very bad luck with them being overly aggressive.
Got it. I'll skip that one.
 
A bit busy too but I'm not complaining lol, it was needed, last year for work was not very good
Busy is better than sitting around waiting for work! Luckily you and I are both in trade ls where service calls will always be a thing, even if new installs slow down.

My wife does that when she's cleaning too. I usually work out in the garage or down in the basement when she's cleaning. Usually because I made the mess :grinning-face-with-sweat:
 
Evening Kevin! How's all your frags doing???
Doing great thanks, told the buyer to wait another week since I fragged the torch. I usually wait a week to make sure nothing pops up from the fragging before the buyer picks them up, I don’t want any disappointments.

Awesome! I wish we were neighbors! I been very tempted to buy myself a torch with my liveaquaria gift card but they haven't had any I've liked for a reasonable price! Yours are beautiful!
 
I been wanting some acans, and this seems like one way to do it.. but what do you fine folks think the odds are that I'm disappointed by the 3 I get sent?

I hope someone else chimes in with better news but I haven’t been hearing good things about livaquaria for a long time but I could be thinking of a different vendor after all I went to public school. Make sure they are wysiwyg.
 
They have changed from insulated boxes to those thin foam bags for insulation...

I wouldn't risk buying live from them even though it's in their name...

Sad when a company puts profits over well being of animals.

Yea i have been hearing the same. I have a $100 gift card, that's the knky reason I'm looking at their website. They have like zero dry goods that I'm interested in(in stock).
 
on vacation this week, so the days that I am home I may need to give everyone a fair warning, later in the evenings, there will be a slew of drunk postings
I’m looking forward to this jimmy
