Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hey everyone…@kingranch2003 told me I should pop over here. After lurking for a while and seeing baseball, music, food and reefing…decided I should post.

I’m Andre, 45 yrs young, retired Air Force, 21 year reefer…and I like short walks on the beach 😀.

Welcome Catawba!
 
This thread is a safe place, where we can laugh, cry and be honest with each other with everything besides reefing 😉 (and that too) and I really consider y'all my family.
I post very little outside this thread and I'm super careful, if I do with what I say.
I'm also not very modern with my reefing methods so I don't fit in well, nor do I have any answers to a lot of questions.
I don't understand a lot of posts.
I also don't really have a reef tank, just some free softies and a big Ole trigger no one can relate to.
But I love you guys and this thread gets me through every day, no matter how bad.
I also think it's pretty cool to find a group of people who have never met that actually care about each other.
That's something unheard of nowadays and something that's really special.
It's unfortunate that lots have become angry and disgruntled, opinionated and rude.
Just glad we all have each other.
I've learned more on this thread than 40 years combined.
Thanks to all of you.
I feel very blessed to have you all in my life.
That sums up how I feel as well about this family! I absolutely enjoy interacting with each and everyone of you!
Joel, I bet you didn't know you'd create such a great place!
 
For all of you with little ones, the worry never ends no matter how old your children are. My youngest son, 22 yo, came home from work still having a fever ( my wife checked, 104 degrees) and complaining a headache and neck pain. I know Keith and Wes already know what our concern was. We took him to the Emergency Room and fortunately the spinal tap was negative.
