Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
In all honesty I thought a place that had the meats would serve chicken and beef tacos or at least burritos.

personally I would've gone with the loaded potato. So then you must be planning something bigger to make up for taco Tuesday? I was going to do chicken tacos tonight which I never had done before but I just had one come home early from school. so not sure of dinner now. might be soup. taco soup?
 
Bit busy but good the 1st of the month is when I have to work on billing all the companies that use our services here at the health department.
Uhmm... I'm sorry... but I am sure they appreciate your skills at account receivables!
 
Heck yeah brother, good late morning to you

One of my favorite Pantera albums! Cowboys from Hell is such a great song as well! I knew I liked you John, now... we are practically related! I'll leave you my tank in my will.

I had peanut butter toast I'm working through lunch since I'm leaving early for another doctors appointment and will do the same thing tomorrow since I have a different kind of doctor appointment tomorrow.

did you see that person was from somewhere in VA giving the BTA's away? Thought you'd be closest if interested.

Yes I did thank you but she's on the coast of VA and it's too far.

Great album for sure! I was jamming to their cover of Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath yesterday too. Lol I'll take it, but hopefully I won't inherit your tank for another 100 years though
 
Gorgeous hammer!
Thank you, this was maybe my second coral. Sadly, this one hurts too, but something is telling me this one is dead. I got no warning either. This is what it has looked like the last 2 days. I have no clue what happened to it! Anyone?
