Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You got them out Paul? These guys are no good right? Ive never experienced them.
This is one that didn’t make it to the ranch. 😢 I accidentally left it in the sun for a few weeks. When I realized what I had done I quickly placed it back in the tank so I could hopefully revive it but instead a hermit crab moved in it.

I'M BACK!!! I drank a half cup of coffee and feel great! Ready to kick butts and take names (well only up to 5 pound butts for another week and a half).

I was going to listen to some Steppenwolf but decided I'd better stick to something less aggressive for the time being
