Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I also should have a trumpet, a goni, a paly and another Duncan coming from Kipp this week as well. This will have to be my last orders for a while as it's almost time to have to buy Leo and Dottie's hay for the winter and that will be around $1000.00... maybe my husband is right i have too many expensive hobbies... 😆
growing up we had a 2 acre field and a farmer would come and cut it every season, bail it and take it away for his farm. we also had a couple neighbors that had similar. must have saved him a lot of money. probably 12 acres where I was then down the street he would probably another 10.

I don't think horses are a hobby, they are a lifestyle. As long as they are on property they aren't THAT expensive, unless they eat your truck...

That is true I can't imagine paying to board one. Around here boarding runs about $400 a month.
 
Good morning all, the 2nd clown is forbidden to the BTA so he begins to look at the elegance. Hopefully he will not bother it too much.

Remi that is gorgeous. The contrast of colors between the elegance and the clown are fantastic!

Good evening Remi, gorgeous tank! I’ve seen many videos of elegance hosting clowns with zero problems. My duncan doesn’t mind and it’s been over two years.
