Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Interesting site. I can honestly say that I have never considered buying coral on eBay. Have you bought from gw?
Several times and he is an excellent seller. He'll hold corals if you want to catch another auction site too. All my corals came from my lfs or ebay
 
Anyways, Tom, it's been great listening to your music choices, brings back so many memories for me.
My father and I have never gotten along, talked much for that matter but it's amazing how some of his easy listening/elevator music resonates in my brain.
I still listen to it too, mostly in the morning while cooking but a little more now.
Thank you @tharbin ...
 
Most of us recognize this next band for one song, Red Red Wine which is actually a Neil Diamond song, but they had so many great albums.
In concert, it was amazing.
Full brass band.
The works.
They blended the Tijuana Brass and Toots together for me as a kid.
So political in England a UB40 is an English unemployment form
Anyways I guess I'm full of energy tonight aren't 🤪 I...
Take a listen, one of my favorites by them...

I go in spurts because I sold all of my vinyl and tapes about 20 years ago and while digital is okay it just doesn't have the nuance of vinyl or tape on good gear.

It's kind of fun going back and digging out what I used to listen to but today when I decide to break out the CDs it is almost always jazz. At one time I had a whole series of 'elevator music' albums with just studio players but they sure were good. It also amazes me how much of what I listened to in my late teens/early twenties isn't really suitable for R2R.

The smorgasbord has got me listening to jazz with my morning coffee again. Thanks.
 
Ok Ok one more super silly but my dad loved this one and I still know all the words...

Karen Carpenter had such an amazing voice. I could listen to her for hours at a time.
 
Couldn't have said it better.
I always thought a supergroup with her on lead vocals with some hot guitar and punchy bass would've been epic. That girl could shout down the devil lol
