Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought you were an Immunologist.
I actually did a parody CV once in the late 80s. I just parodied actual accomplishments. I gave a copy to one of my friends and he showed it to his boss. I not only got called in I was hired on the spot as the Program Manager for a new classified ads system they were designing for the LA Times.
 
OOPS. Same boss but wrong job. The Program Manager job was later at a different company. I was brought in as a consultant for the design of a FAX-based document scanning/filing/management system for a healthcare company. Then I finished it consulting for the healthcare company that bought them out.
 
Because I'm retired. When I was a kid/young adult I worked in my family's cash register business, then I spent 40 some years in various computer-related high tech jobs, then retired but still do volunteer IT work for a small company and our church/school.
I imagined it but I wanted to see if I could find info or if you had participated lol

I grew up working my family's business as well Tom. A couple of hurricanes got us finally after it was open over 50 years. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. No allowance, but you could earn money.
 
I just noticed that a lot of the Orphek light is being blocked by the lid hinge. If I push the light back a little it changes lighting for the GSP and clove polyps. It would move the Orphek farther from the frogspawn, Duncans, and mushroom, but I think those are mostly lit by the Radeon and Noopsyches anyway. Think I should move it?

Not as obvious for the polyps but...
 
Actually I am a Spam fan. My daughter thought it was so gross when I fried up slices put cheese on it and made a sandwich like a grilled cheese or fried up slices to eat with eggs and hash browns.
Used to run spam and eggs as a Sunday morning special.
Everyone thought I was nuts but we couldn't keep it in stock.
