Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Sorry, I can’t help it. Sorry Keith that whole ordeal had to be rough.
I appreciate that, it was. The only way I could get away from it was to completely cut her off. That was the main reason I joined the Army was to escape the toxic environment around her and her family.

Good thing I only need one kidney! Honestly, I got that for $199! It's a 'highlighter' holy grail. It literally glows! I can't want to get it and once it's settled, I'll post up some pics.

They are a beautiful torch, I have one in my tank!

Have you posted a pic of yours Kev? You have some beautiful Euphyllia!
 
Beautiful John! There's a reason some military "occupations" use a .308 for long range shots! When a silencer (a real military grade) is attached...oh my...sounds a little louder than if you would spit out a watermelon seed, but the end results were shattering... literally!
Tried and true! Good enough for Carlos Hathcock, good enough for me! Although I think he preferred the 06. I shoot a .257 weatherby magnum at deer, the .308 won't shoot as flat, but with the right scope, ammo and Kentucky wind age, that round will last forever
 
I feel ya, my mother will be 83yo this year and has a lot of health problems.
It is such a blessing that she's with you Kevin. Does she enjoy your tank? My mom loves mine. :)
 
That was an excellent team, a lo of big names but never had the pitching by the time it came to the playoffs to win a World Series.
You guys gave us a run for our money back in 95. How would anyone beat that rotation? Maddux Glavine and Smoltz. I remember gearing up to watch game 1. Hershiser vs Maddux, epic
 
My mother passed away last January at 73 due to Stage 4 lung cancer that metastasized to pretty much every where. She smoked 2-3 packs a day for as long as I can remember. No apologies or sympathy is needed, I hadn't spoken to her up until that point since I was 16, so probably close to 35 years. Long story, but she was not a nice person.
You are though. That's all you can control. Sometimes your family is who you choose to be your family. I'm extremely grateful that you chose to be a part of this one.

That's the best thing a person can do. Life is too short for anything else.
