Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I decided I didn't want to go the office today. Little bit of a sinus congestion headache so I stayed in bed and extra 45 minutes and am working remotely today.

It's kinda stormy outside so I may go sit on my back porch for a bit and enjoy the weather.

Also, I'm having some Stok Coldbrew for my coffee this morning. I might go for a regular hot coffee later but Stok is such a smooth cup and great flavor.

Your lawn is such a lush and green! Do you have a lawn service fertilize and apply weed control or do you do it? It looks freshly cut.

Thanks, we do it all ourselves but my neighbor helped last year when we re-did the front. It was basically my neighbor, his father and my wife that did 90% of it as I had just been diagnosed with the aneurism a week or so before. We actually use quite a bit of weed control twice a year, a pre-emergent, as tumbleweeds are a son of a gun to get rid of once they root.

I bet front yard football games really toughened up the kids.
