Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
joel, ive ordered from them before. was not super impressed. just kinda ok. their prices are tempting sometimes. but ive read a lot on here about shady stuff with them. so i shy away. but im talking about corals. never tried their fish.
 
I have ordered from the following and can give feedback if needed:

Corals:
Cherry Corals
Lazy’s Coral House
Fraghouse (he only does SPS)
Cultivated Reef
Reef Nation
TRSC Aquatics
Terra Reef

Fish:
Reef Pro
Reef Chasers
Ny Aquatic
Dr. Reef
Live Aquaria (Divers Den) before the Petco buyout

I get pretty much everything online because the two LFS in my area are more catered to beginners.

I visit cultivated reef in person. More than half my corals are from them
 
Love this thing. Gotta get better at timing things out though haha. Usually end up over cooking the potatoes

the hardest thing is getting a bunch of food to be done all at the same time. and juggle it.

I’ve had good experiences with them. Not a ton of selection coral wise…but they have some of the classics. I believe I’ve dealt with Holly. She was nice.
 
She's going to be in the hospital for a while, and probably won't be able to live on her own anymore. Just got a lot to figure out brother.
We are and will be here for you my friend, talking to someone is super important, from my own experience I do not recommend you carry the backpack alone.

Yea, i'm at the point where they have a few more i want, but i might wait till I get some colonies of corals they dont have and see if they want to trade/give me credit for a homewrecker or something. I got a few coming i know they dont have lol.
 
You too man. I hope everything is going awesome for the future reefer that is joining your family soon!
So far so good! Just found out they drew 1 vial too few last time so she's gotta go get more blood drawn. Go figure lol
 
I tried out for Wheel of Fortune twice and almost made it at least once.
Don't think my age stopped me, but i have some pretty hardcore survival skills. They producers have made obvious changes to locations that would limit harvesting predators versus prey. Others have noticed that you never I repeat, never cook any meat over a fire. EVERYTHING is boiled and the soup drank.
 
Had to at least catch up on the quoted posts of mine, going to do the giveaway entry grind and hit the sack. Tomorrow is a new day
Good night Jimmy!
