Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well, just finished Alone. It’s tough when you get down to the last three and you want each one to win for a different reason. I always love the reveal at the end when a love one shows up and they realize that they won. How many episodes are out of the new season in Australia?
 
All you non-coffee drinkers need to try some Turkish coffee brewed the traditional way. Or Vietnamese Egg Coffee.
gag! no thanks! ill let the people who like it enjoy it! i dont like coffe flavored stuff or even the smell! lol
 
Before I hit the sack, my new kenya tree frag is just starting to open its polyps, I think its a good sign after about 6 hours. the chalice has fattened up ALOT, just a little bit of white showing on the edges. Will take some pics when the light comes on tomorrow. Hitting the sack good night everyone.
Goodnight bud. I look forward to seeing the chalice happy tomorrow and the color of that Kenya tree has me intrigued to see the again tomorrow if you get a chance.

I like coffee. It just doesn't like me back. When I drink it, I like it to like mud. Nothing but the cup (maybe that's my problem)

The whole season is out. It aired at the same time as Africa. Im on episode 3 and these contestants are a different breed.
 
Where's your anemone? I dont see it.

I kid.. Gorgeous
unfortunately my BTA has decided to become 5. AT least the tube stays put. it does close up from time to time I think after it eats. but when the lights go out, it really spreads out!

What season is it, I can’t find it?
 
I never used to like it. eventually I needed it.
Same here when I was younger I didn’t really like the taste but i enjoyed the effects of it

Now I drink it black and thoroughly enjoy it every morning i guess that’s called maturing

I see, they aren’t survivalist.
 
Never mind I found it. Why is the prize in Australia only 250k?
Maybe they dont bring in as much as the Original Alone? That's all I can think of, like the NBA and the WNBA
 
I hope your visit returns excellent news.

This is one of my favorite songs ever Tom. The first time I heard this record, it changed the music I listened to. Imagine walking around singing Hurdy Gurdy man at 7 years old lol. Thanks for this one.

You just don't hear enough Donovan today, or Deep Purple or... Cindy Leuper? Nah, Pat Benetar.

Thanks, the visit went really well. I'm not supposed to do anything stupid for about a year but the procedure was 'textbook'. The doc didn't give me a real good idea of what a cardiologist considers stupid versus what a poor kid from Ohio considers stupid so told my wife, I guess if I NEED the weight belt, it's stupid, otherwise go for it. She mumbled a little so we'll see. I know I'm on blood thinners for at least six months so there is that.

Dont forget to stop and take a breath Tom.
That's a lot to deal with at once, but it's all very doable. I just started having to take insulin shots and I was really bummed about that. Now it's just second nature and part of what I have to do to keep kicking but! Hang in there brother, you've got this.
