Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning everyone, today we have the meet and greet at Jason's new school at 1:30 pm but first we're going to stop by the daycare so he can say goodbye to his friends and teachers.
 
I checked on him and that's why I hadn't asked about him, he's in good hands at Matt's.
I do the giveaway grind, might say hi to new members, but when it comes to having conversation outside of reefing, I come to the smorgasbord

Same here, I participate in POTM, MOTM, and I check everyone's threads from the shadows, but it's always here where I connect with everyone. Sometimes I skip some welcomes because I go directly from notifications, sometimes I don't even go through the main page.
 
@tharbin hugs and lots of strength to you all today. Please, if you can, at least stop by to say Hi when you wake up and give your wife a hug, For us to know that everything went well, because everything will go well.
 
Im here, been working crazy hours, feeling under the weather, and just grinding along right now. Jobsites 2hrs away, and I got meh help, so work sucks right now lol
and it was hot the past few days. drove through Bangord last Friday and it was like an oven till I got back down here! but then we spiked Monday.

Since you are already there, you should get in line and show Kevin what a 2 hour standing in line gets you for a $36 roll. Haven't been to the Jail there yet but Castle Tucker was interesting.

I would be too Rock but you’re not supposed to drink it! Apply it evenly on your exterior.
That's what I'm doing wrong! I appreciate the feedback sir. At least my colon won't have melanoma!
