What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I want to sincerely thank you all for sharing what life has thrown your way. I commend you and respect you. I'm getting emotional reading all of this. I do apologize. Sometimes my past gets the best of me. I truly am grateful for being a part of such a caring and supporting group. You all are therapy for me. I mean that. I'll share part of military past sometime to give you a better understanding, but tonight isn't the night. Hugs to you. Yes, even the guys.
 
It's very true. I struggled when my brother was in the hospital last summer. My Dad was a wreck, my whole family was spiraling and I felt like it was my job to be "the man" and burry it down and get everyone through it. Luckily my wife was there at 3am and caught me spiraling. We aren't meant to live our lives alone.
I had to do the same with a terrible family situation that happened recently, and the truth is that I am increasingly grateful for this family that Joel has created that helped me a lot at that time. I tell you from the heart, whatever situation you all have here, I assure you 100% that you can count on the Smorgasbord forever

This is a truly awesome place. I remember when I first showed up i was so embarrassed of my tank setup and didn't want to post pictures and then I did and the general response was something like "that's a pretty neat setup, let's see how we can fix what you dont like, and... why were you embarrassed?" Lol

Stupid auto correct! Just to let everyone know I have been having a difficult time with R2R, this is the first time I was able to post and I have been trying for over an hour.

I'm not getting my notification s and it's doing that thing where sometimes I go out and come back and the messages are in a different order or there are additional messages that were not there before.

It has been weird for me too Kevin. My private conversations take forever to load, or don't load. Then sometimes my main thread messages, won't load either
 
I got you Amanda!
I don't want to bring the group down but for those of you that pray can you keep me in your prayers. There is a chance I might have cancer in my lady bits and I'm scared.

Got home and decided to post some pics of my temporary tank. I try to do contrasting colors. Torches are difficult, but I'm trying.
Am I just late to the party, or have you been holding out on us lol? This is an amazing coral collection. I'm blown away by all your torches.
