Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Maybe you were on vacation or something but she came here to Smorgasbord maybe a month back and spent a few days here, she still comes here but I think she has her tank thread and is quite active from what I can see. But what happened to her tank I don't know.
I haven't been on vacation in years lol. OK I gotcha, buddy. Hopefully things turn around for her.
 
Migraines aside from his recent symptoms?
Has he been drinking water? I know that sounds silly, but dehydration can cause the symptoms he is having.
Ya, he has been getting migraines since middle school, once every few months but they have seemed to become less frequent the older he has gotten. I know he takes a lot of water with him to work but it’s possible. My wife bought home a lot of Gatorade this morning so if he was dehydrated we will remedy it.

That's why I told you vacation or something lol because I don't remember you on vacation but she was here for a few days.

Gatorade is what we drink here when we work in the sun all day. My friend's hands get cramped because he sweats too much and Gatorade is the only thing that gets rid of it.
 
apparently she had to turn in her guns! 🧐 honest, she's a really nice girl, just don't stand closer than a few hundred feet!
Thanks for the warning brother
 
Hello smorgtown. I know I've missed a lot in two days. But so far today, Ive solved the Anna k mystery and my buddy @Catawba_Valley_Reef made it here! You guys haven't run him off yet either! Fantastic! We're really glad to have you brother, your reef is amazing.

They said it was an upper respiratory infection which is strange he doesn’t have any of the symptoms. Yes he does work outside, he followed in his uncle Luis’s footsteps and does HVAC installations.
mold?

Heater failures, pump failure, couple other issues with her tank

You said he has a cough or no?

Absolutely! Water is great but it can't replace the electrolytes lost through sweating.
 
Ill try to catch up. If anyone had any big events happen, lmk!
I just flushed some political promises after having Taco Bell for lunch. Does that count?
 
I guess I should have left the tomatoes out of the picture! 😉
Kevin, just like cow bell, you can never have enough tomatoes!

She’ll feed you to her hogs so there’s no evidence.
