Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I do also unless I’m looking for a specific color and I need the hobby name to locate it.
I had the great idea of asking for a yellow torch, it turns out it was a banana torch, $250, I'm not going to pay that for a coral lol, whoever can do it, do it, if I could I would definitely do it, but they keep inventing more names to raise the prices lol
 
Guys we lost another fur baby today. Her name was Dixie and she was 16 years old. She was a great hunting dog but for the last 3 or 4 years she's just been a beloved pet. She was the sweetest thing and wagged her entire body when she seen you.
I'm so very sorry Amanda
 
I’m so sorry Amanda, I’m sure she got a lot of love over those sixteen years. Was it Dixie the one that was injured by another one of your dogs last year?
Thank you. No the one that got hurt was Ruby
 
Just back from a week of grant writing followed by slring break family vacay. 70 pages. May have missed a few things?
70 pages only in one week, I think we are losing ground :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I've shot a many of rabbits behind little doggies named Dixie. Sorry about your sweet little hunter girl
 
Our dog is coming to the end of her life at over 11 years old. She's still healthy, but the life expectancy for that breed isn't much longer than that, and I can't imagine the moment you're going through, Amanda

I’ve had 5 dogs before the one I have now and it never got easier. Just think of the great life and love you gave her.

Thank you she has been retired the last 3 years or so and has been a happy spoiled house dog.

We just have to enjoy them as much as we can when we have them.
