Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh my gosh it's fantastic but a bit out of my price range. Lol
I was wondering if it would fit or suck it dry of nutrients. Wait till they drop another sale of 25% or more off. I saw they have a "red" one too, not green which you don't see too often.
 
For someone who has listened to a lot of late '60s and '70s rock/metal. I surprisingly don't think I've listened to Hawkwind before, haha.
Psych space rock jam band!

The first 3 albums are incredible. The other ones....also incredible.... lol
 
Trying to get more involved in the community here, haha. I mean, I'm pretty active on R2R, but I want to be more active if that makes sense. I didn't realize that on that album, they cover four Motörhead songs too!
I'm telling ya, that album is great! It's probably my second favorite album. Their early stuff was what I listened to in high school... Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightening.. that was just pure, raw metal. And Justice For All was good as well. The Black album... that speaks for itself. You can tell I'm a huge Metallica fan
 
Lemmy for life! We're really happy to have you drop by this morning! Lemmy's first band:

Lemmy ... probably the most unattractive singer besides Lyle Loveitt! LOL. Though Lemmy's raspy vocals and how he would turn the feedback all the way up on his guitar amp... classic!

I've never heard of Hawkwind either

I wasn't too huge into Metallica in my Teenage years, but as I've gotten older, I've developed a bigger appreciation for artists like them. I guess because it's fun for me to see where rock and metal have come from. Seeing those artists who helped pioneer a genre of music and really push it to where it is today. Rainbow, Deep Purple (pre-80's), King Crimson, Rush, just to name a few classic bands I've been enjoying recently

King Crimson is one of the greatest prog bands of all time. Robert Fripp and co. Are geniuses. They just dropped a new album after all these years and it's outstanding.

You are speaking John and my language now!

No kidding! I'll have to check it out!

Well, I told myself this year I wanted to become more diverse in my music taste. Because usually I stick to the more underground rock/metal scene and don't deviate far from that. I said at the start of the year, "If I want to be considered a metal/rock head, I need to know the classics". Thus, I set out on an adventure this year, combing through the popular bands and albums, all the way to the more obscure, lesser-known bands or album releases. It's been a very enjoyable year for listening to music. Every Friday, I check through all the new albums that were released for the week, go through them, see which ones to add or skip, then either deep dive into those albums throughout the week, go through classic albums, or go back and listen to albums I've had saved this year. It's a long-winded process, but I have a down where it's not overwhelming, but more of an enjoyment.
