Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I need to step back from the construction a little bit, the tank is a mess in parameters right now, visually fine but in parameters not so good. I need to have time for myself, my family and others things again.
Yes you do.
 
no, thank goodness. we crack 100 for a week in early August and that is plenty hot. I think i would melt. Visiting St.George when it is 110 out was enough, feels like your shoe soles will melt if you stand still too long.

Lucked out this week though, it rained all last weekend and has been beautiful sunny 70s all week.
We'll hit 100 once or twice a summer, once we hit 106 for a week.
It'll also rain anytime or we'll get 60 winds for 30 minutes.
Coldest I've seen here was this...

Brrrrrr! Looks like you are very similar to us. Lowest I saw was -21, but i didnt get a pic. I did grab this one though. I used to work outside building towers, that day we all just went to the diner for breakfast instead.

Kind of on a Long John Baldry kick tonight. This one kind of reminds me of Arlo Guthrie's 'Alice's Restaurant' with the intro.


Tom, I feel like you're trying to give us something to check out here. Im honestly not familiar with this, cant wait to see what it's all about.
 

Oh man, that style of music just makes me want to move. It's so uplifting.

I listen to a wide variety of music, but it all comes back to these roots.
 
@tharbin This is some of the best music I've heard in a while. I listen to a lot of different music, but every now and then I miss one. It's possible that I heard this song before. Either way, it's a gem.
