Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Arby’s makes a decent French dip but you’ll have to stop by the grocery store and get horseradish because they only have the sissy horsey sauce.
Got horseradish in stock but think I'll go for a Philly Cheesesteak instead. Dipping takes too long when I'm hungry.

Last day of this coral in the tank, it hurts a little lol because it's been with me since day one but it's growing too much and it's sticking to the main rock, I'm going to give it to my wife's dad who lost his corals recently and so he has something nice and resistant

Nice of you to share the love with your father-in-law.
 
I'm going to throw out one more 60s song because I just found it. The early days of CCR:


Love this as it was before they found their own "sound."

I know you know this, you’re a seasoned reefer but please use caution with removing them, full hazmat suit preferred. What ever you do don’t make tea out of a few of them. I I don’t want to read another paly toxin thread.

This, right here. ^
 
ah Hi everyone...Hope you all have a great Sunday....Waiting for the coffee to brew here..
The 300 redo has been going good lots of changes and improvements.
Also made a rock wall for a friend tank, when he saw my new back way he wanted one so we made one two days ago. He really liked the idea of cutting the rock to 2-3 inches thick and making a back wall for the tank. take up so much less room...
Any pictures?

But that's one of my favorites! Well at least it will have a good home with your dad.
 
Whenever I see the name "Wes" it reminds me of Les. Then that reminds me of the this band, for obvious reasons that may not be so obvious if you're not familiar. (This also keeps in the 60's and 90's directive from last night.)


Love Primus! Puscifer Primus and A perfect circle was an awesome concert
