Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
All good Amanda we love you.
I've got a diet for you if you're interested, just pm me.
Just remember that she's not in Idaho!
 
So some of you have noticed I haven't been as active and don't worry I am fine. I'm just spending less time online for a few reasons. First my last blood work showed I'm pre-diabetic so I'm trying to be more active by either exercising on my lunch break or before work. I'm also trying to make better food choices which is the hardest part as knowing what's healthy and what isn't can be difficult. The doctor wanted to put me on a weight loss medicine but my insurance will not pay for it and it's about $350 a month so that's not happening. Another reason is works been crazy busy and they keep giving me more to do so I have little to no free time at work most days and spend so much time looking at my computer that by the time I get home my eyes really don't want to look at a little screen anymore. Lol any way I'm still here and still love you all tons and feel free to pm me any healthy dieting advice, exercise advice or even yummy healthy recipes you have that I can try.
Take care of yourself Amanda…all of the things you mentioned are more important than being “online”.
 
Apparently the CBB decided to try the aiptasias and I no longer see any of the 3 that I had.

In reality, these days the tank has been on autopilot since I am arriving from work after 10-11 pm and my wife who is helping me feed the fish and clean the glass is doing a great job

Beautiful brother!
 
Good morning Rock, stay bundled up when leaving your house if you’re getting the same weather as we are!
It was a nice morning, definitely a break in the heat
 
Sorry family if I haven't been very attentive or active these days but work is kicking my butt, I try to get in as much as I can, even if it's just to read all of you, love you all
No need to apologize brother. We all understand! We are here for you... much love Amigo!
