Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Fishy is Jason, he's basically Frank's right hand man. He's an awesome guy and super helpful. I'd love to see him win. If you haven't voted for him, please do.

Nova is one of the SBB guys. I don't know a lot about him but what I've seen, he is a great guy and pretty helpful. Most of the SBB crew are super great people, similar to the Smorgasbord crew.

Both are deserving I'd say but if I had to pick one today, I'd go with Jason just because of who I know he is.
I voted for him first, also for Wes and Keith, I didn't even vote for myself this time either thinking that he deserved it first because I've seen him helping a lot of people

The guy could be from SBB crew but I've never seen him helping anyone, just because I don't comment on many threads doesn't mean I don't check in and I have a list of names that I can tell of people I always see but his is new to me.
 
I only enter the competition because I'm nominated and I don't like to deny the nomination but I know that in this forum there are too many reefers to have a 3+ year competition and I still wouldn't fit in there, it's also my fault that people don't know me because I don't leave this thread but the times I have done it that it's not a thread of you all everyone argues and contradicts and for that it's better that I just stay here and see all of your threads, even if I don't comment I'm always there

Do you like that combination? I don't know if I can find that whiskey here, but I'll look for it. I always drink whiskey on the rocks, I only mix vodka but I'm going to get this one.

It's all personal, of course. I'm partial to bourbon anyway. This is a cheaper bourbon, but surprisingly good for the price (to me at least). I will note that even 30 years ago I had bartenders tell me it is an old man drink.

Whiskey and soda I mean.
 
It's been a few days so here's an update on the tank. All of the visible aiptasia is gone. The berghia had babies in my tank and I've been seeing them roaming around the rocks. The finally got the last large one yesterday. It was a really cool process to watch. They 100% did their job! @ReefEngineer
This is such great news. So happy to hear that the aiptasia is almost all gone. So happy to say another tank was saved.
