Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
no, this is Brian May from Queen. there's a different Brian May that did Steel Dawn.

he also did Road Warrior and MadMax. I just can't find any of his music online.
Oh dang, I thought they were the same Brian May lol
 
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
Right back to you brother, hang in there
 
I’m procrastinating. Should be working on this painting but I’m frustrated and it’s so hot my paint dries too fast.

That is incredible! You have an amazing talent.
 
Thanks, since I checked out early last night, this is my morning brew piece. Charles Mingus is a genius. This piece actually reminds me a little of some of Herbie Hancock's fusion pieces. Frenetic but composed, if that is possible.
Herb! I forgot all about him since we've been in this music mode. Thanks for the evening jam inspiration Tom
 
Good morning! You missed an eventful #Smorgasbadafterdark last night. In case you're not sure what that is, let this be your invitation. Weird music, food, coral pics, borderline ridiculousness, anything goes! There is also no official start time, it's a mood thing 😎
Is this one where we get “bad” ?
 
I was going to put this up today! Apparently even so-so minds can sometimes think alike with great minds.
No way!! We'll I had you in mind when I posted it, so you are correct sir lol
 
That's a Pink Branching Cyphastrea!

I don't remember but I think Kona Phoenix had one in stock the last time I was there. Either them or Aquaholics...
Gw corals too. Cheap frags
 
@ShakeyGizzard Jimmy did you have any luck figuring out a solution to your alk drops? Im just now starting to require dosing it and I dint want to steer you wrong, but I also want to make sure you get some answers
 

Really liked that. I got frustrated trying to figure out what year the caddy was, definitely early 60s, maybe 62 or 63. Then it dawned on me that the video was like a flashback to the late 60s early 70s for me. Think I used to drink with those dudes. All 'Kind of a Blur, When You Don't Know Where You Are' (sung to The Buckingham's Kind of a Drag).
 
I was trolling YT for some Les Brown at Aurex and happened on this. Yes, I also like some big band:



In other news, the gold Indo torch appears to be gone but I'll leave the skeleton there for a while just in case. Everything else looks the same or slightly better after two Cipro doses.

John and Tim,

Sad about the coral or that I like Big Band? Maybe both?
