Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I turned 60 in May
I apologize, almost 2 1/2 years older than me. I hope we end up in the same nursing home in a few years, we can reminisce about reefing and I’ll share my pudding and jello with you.
 
everyone has their opinion, but the tetanus bacteria / virus does not live on "rusty nails"
I've been told (years ago) that the association with rusty nails is because farm animals manure is a source and old barns often have rusty nails. I will say any time I've gone to the doctor with an open wound, the first thing they ask is when your last tetanus shot was.

its a better safe than sorry situation
 
I have seen these plants at big box home stores, did not know if the peppers were worth eating, I grow all kinds of peppers
They are very worth eating! Ive been giving them away and people love em. I grew them from seeds and they're hopefully going to make a whole bunch of pepper vinegar for my gumbo and red beans.

I’m not anti vaccine, I just didn’t see the need for it. My kids all got their required vaccines they needed for school, my wife and I just spread them out. My kids pediatrician and I broke up when he suggested the hepatitis B vaccine for my oldest when he was going to middle school in 6th grade, he got all defensive. I said that he was not at risk it’s only spread by passing body fluids such as sharing needles or inter course and that my wife as a nurse gets one because she deals with body fluids and is at risk. He said what if one of the other students starts profusely bleeding and it gets on an open wound of your child? I said what if he gets hit by a meteor while being struck by lightning, do you have a vaccine for that? We parted ways.

I'm not anti vaccine, but was not going to take the covid vaccine, Just like I take ivermectin on a regular basis, not for viral reason, but parasite reasons (preventive)

I thought you get tetanus from clostridium? That’s bacteria that goes into the wound.

My doctor actually told me not to take the Covid shots anymore due to the reaction I get from it. 102+ temps, bad headaches, chills, fatigue etc.. over 5 days. It’s worse than covid itself.
 
when it was going to be take the shot or your out of a job, my doctor said, I will shoot the shot in the trash, you get the batch number on your vaccination card, your good
 
Keith, I just followed you back on Instagram and not to diss you but man you have let yourself go. Your a walking heart attack, the way I thought about the great late John Candy (RIP). You should really look into a gym membership and maybe start pounding some weights, you’ll feel better about yourself. What the heck is with not a single tank pic, what’s wrong with you, seriously?
