Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
We drove up north for an archery tournament and stuck around for lunch and goofy golf with my sister-in-law. Now we're thrifting before heading back home.
 
My royal gramma showed up for dinner, just for a second to grab a bite, haven’t seen it since Wednesday. Looks healthy, not beat up, I think it just needs to add some size before he gets more confident.
 
Well, I think my feather duster passed. Only opened up partially a few days ago for the first time in a week. I googled life span and they average 1.5 years. I’ve had it for 3 years. I’ll grab another next time I’m at my lfs, they had 2 last time I was there. Even losing a worm sucks.

It's a shame I can't put 2 emojis at the same time lol

So sorry Kevin but that it lived that long is amazing
 
Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! I had an amazing ride with my friends and the weather was perfect! Beau is an amazing horse and he took good care of me today. He is a good bit taller than Leo and he built like a tank!
