Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I dont know how you feel about PETCO but they always have them ime
I have never been in one, we don’t have any close. I think the closest is over an hour when I checked on Waze a long time ago. From what I understand it is highly dependent on the franchise owner and range from awesome to awful.
 
Kevin that's awesome! Didn't he win one with the Dodgers too?
No just the Yankees program, farm league in Texas, minors in I believe New Jersey and got called up to the majors. He was a pitcher, but by the time he got to the majors his shoulder was shot, no fancy surgeries back then.
 
I don't know if any of you will find this interesting but on the 25th we briefly discussed, in one of the threads-I think it was in #Heathens, a Haboob that hit Phoenix that day. It's just a really big dust storm but it is kind of cool to see. Anyway this video popped up in my feed today. The majority of the video was shot about 5 miles from our house in a field not too far from the public shooting range and the local RC club fields.

Wow , I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it. You and Tim didn’t make it to be as bad as in the video!

they have not had one in a very long time. the only ones rolling through there lately are pencils and long spines. I have 3 pencils and they pretty much stay in the exact same spots. the pin cushion that rolled in with the rocks was about 1/4" (eraser) size. that thing travelled everywhere. got to about 2" then was done.

they should have filmed "Interstellar 2" during this. that would have been amazing!
 
so every time I drop a cube of Prime Reef in the tank, the elegance balloons up like this. is that good or bad?

Good, it senses food and is responding.

The one by my house and the only one Ive ever been in is awesome, I must say. With that being said, my LFS is out of this.world, so I rarely use petco. I did get my Tuxedo from them.

Still a legend ! And it's an extremely cool story for you all to be a part of. :)
 
I think he's had too much butter. I also feel like he should be wearing a shirt.
Ok, I hear you, but that’s what you want you butter instructor to look like. I mean would you trust this guy to show you how to make a paste out of saturated fat ?
