Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
probably not, I'm 60 now, but I still feel like i am in decent shape. they may not take me due to age. Wish they would give me a chance to prove myself
Season 2 winner was 57! You're whole Smorgasbord family would be rooting you on. I feel like the best Alone contestants are the ones that win the battle of the mind, and have a really strong will
 
Yeah ive never seen one wearing an entire cadaver lol. Never a dull moment in reefing!
if you give them something to wear, they're less likely to pick up other items. someone printed out all those hats for me and he didn't pick up anything else while wearing it but once it fell off, he would search for something else. But the urchin died a while ago and this was the one that showed up without any water in the bag. but I placed him outside and let the insect remove the body then bleach sanitized and shellacked it's shell.

Corals came in, the frag plugs were real clean, the chalice has me worried, the edges are showing skeleton and the skeleton is cracked on it edge. Kenya tree looks fine, its mounted at an angle so you can't really see it in the pics. If the chalice looks to be not healing the cracked area I will frag it into 2 pieces. Using the orange filter to take pics

Good morning Tim. What's your choice of coffee this morning?
First cup was a Caramel Macchiato (not a latte, just flavored black coffee). This current cup is a Cinnamon Churro (still black, not latte).
 
I have to admit. I could totally see Tim describing "the tasting notes" of his coffee in that picture. "It has a lightly nutty flavor with hints of rhubarb and rhododendrons".

Well, if you frequented Matt's thread occasionally you would see some of those very things my friend! Minus the rhubarb and rhododendrons...

Those sound delicious but I would need half and half in them lol
 
Display we have outside work today one side of the gauge is inside a car and the other is outside.
I like that, it is a good reminder for people of the dangers of leaving pets/children/significant others in a locked car.
