Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I remember the Tomorrow show, can see the hosts face but cant remember his name, but meeting Uncle Ted is huge
I still remember "The World of Tomorrow" embedded into my brain with all the RCA cameras as you go up the escalator! Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about.

what about the Late, Late show
 
The old TV shows I loved to watch, is far different from today, I watched Johnny Carson with my parents, my mom loved Lawrence Welk show, I loved Gilligan's Island, the Land of the Lost, Flipper. All I care to watch now is reality TV like Wicked tuna, Alone (I applied to get on it) , swamp people, Deadliest catch. Are about it. I don't have time for any other TV
 
so for any of you that feed your pooch freeze dried chicken. I bought a bag of Purebites of the large size because they didn't have the smaller little bites. (like ever) at the store. figured I would just break them apart with my fingers and give the smaller pieces. Glad I broke them apart. that's an actual bone! imagine that going down your dogs mouth? I'm pretty sure that would be a blockage/torn bowel with surgery etc...

I have kids. I don't get to watch TV. at least what I would want to watch.

How about H.R Puff and stuff, Simon and the sea monsters and the Monkeys. I watched about 5 seasons of Wicked Tuna, Naked and Afraid and one of my all time favorites Alone. Oh, I forgot about Meat Eater.

I'll try and keep the after dark going (can't do it justice I like you my friend) take it easy and we love you too!
 
just hanging out in a corner 🤷‍♀️

It's normal
Sorry for the short answer Jill, at that time I was on a roof working, mine practically started hanging out with the other fish after almost a month, right there in that corner he's going to eat for the next few days or weeks and then you little by little move his food around so he can eat with the rest of the group, mine already does it but for very little while now

I watched Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. Don't remember Simon though! 🧐
The Ghost and Mrs Muir, F Troop, The Munsters etc... hmmm, these were all black and white too. But it did take a few minutes for the tube tv to warm up and turn off. those R7 tubes are still great for electric guitars though!

You kids and your memory!

yeah, I haven't been able to do after dark for a while. I have a small one next to me with a cast still but my head also feels like it's been in a vise all night.
 
I remember me and my mother getting home around 5 pm from running the evening papper route. Just in time for the Flintstones to come on. Circa 1970
YES...Kev, we have an elder amongst us! 🤗
