Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You fit right in now 😆 🤣
I've never had one but maybe someone here has.
My daughter held one at the pet store. But with chickend, 2 dogs, 3 cats (at the time), one lizard, and my marine tank, my wife put her foot down. She wouldn't go for a rescue chinchilla either. The girls have almost talked her into gerbils (we've had them before and they're easy). She said she would be ok with a tarantula since we already raise cockroaches to feed the bearded dragon. Sorry, totally made this about me. Welcome to the Smorgasbord!
 
Sorry my phone is glitching it’s on 2 percent lol see ya in the morning!
Sorry. I guess I responded to Joel instead of you. I'll try again. Welcome to the Smorgasbord! I'm Wes.

Why. Why do they have to give me one frag plug stem that’s 1/16 mm larger than the others, this not fitting in my special shelf. Why!

Because they're sadistic people! These pics make me want to put a tarp over my zoa garden. Beautiful VR.
 
@tbrown Great lyrics if you can get past his voice. Nice horns though

I'll have to check it out tomorrow. Bed time. Just got home and have to be up for work in about 5 hours...

Snip that fat corner with coral cutters and bury the cut in sand. The frag will look like it's rising from the sandbed like a phoenix.

Im doing good brother. Let me give you a quote. ""People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel"

When you put others first, like you so often do, that is your legacy. A hardworking man's rest is a Blessing.
My wife never forget. You know what you said on 3rd September 2004 or 20th February 2009. I don't remembered what I said last week. 🤣🤣🤣

That's right Remi lol. I call it "the library of history "
 
Oh ok! What is everyone’s thoughts on ferrets?
They are adorable but can be smelly if you don't bath them. They still socks if they get the chance and horde then like little dragons...
