Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I get it. I don't wish it away I just wish us education was better and didn't make me feel like another number or like making me feel worthless. I go to private school however even then it just does not feel right lol.
Just get through it and then the world is yours. Do whatever you want after that brother. You need that piece of paper though.

Good morning Bev! You have to do what you have to do but I’m glad you’re back!
 
Well. Gotta add to the melancholy of the evening, lost my uncle today. Been fighting cancer and dementia for quite a few years. Bittersweet. He was a very devout Christian his whole life and the last 4 or 5 he wasn't himself at all.. got really nasty. A prayer of joy and congratulations for him as he's finally home and a prayer of sympathy and condolences for my aunt who's probably struggling with that same thought not knowing how to feel
I'm so sorry for your loss Mike.
 
Do they feel better today?
yes, still queasy but they are headed to school. I think was we get more food in them they will get better. And today is 65 and sunny in the forecast.

The Urchin made it through the night too.
