Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
(not my photo) I had one of these tv's in my room so I could play Atari 2600 games on it. Got it for free at a yard sale, and it was an absolute beast trying to get it up a flight of stairs. Sadly, the color was somewhat busted on it and it couldn't properly display blue so everything was red/green. Eventually, picked up a small 14-16-inch wood TV as its replacement.

Man, that's how to tell a guy he is old, I bought one similar, was hot back then.

No, this is color. Old is when you first tv is a Heathkit 12" B&W that you had to build yourself.
 
Then don't download Kevin's songs!! He has sent me some awesome songs via DM... but... they are NSFW! But, they are funny!! Sadly, my wife doesn't have the same sense of humor as he and I do... go figure!! 🤣

Fortes are wonderful! The first time I heard a Klipschorn I was hooked on what audio could be. I think that speaker, more than anything else, made me an audiophile. It completed changed my idea of what music could sound like. At one time or another I've had a lot of good speakers but I always prefer the Klipschs. That said SVS is making very good speakers for the price, especially their subwoofers.
I couldn't agree more! Hearing the music in its rarest form (I guess technically acetate is rawer) played through these types of setups is just a different experience. It almost opens your mind to different types of music because you want to keep having that experience
 
Do you care for music from say 1965? Like:
I was a little young in 1965, basically still in diapers probably. But AM radio was king growing up. My older brother and I shared a bedroom. He played CCR records non stop.
 
what's this dish ? I am making chicken Jambalaya tomorrow, happy to share my way of doing it.
Phenomenal, I used cod and the sauce is the bomb! I could double the sauce and call it white fish soup!
 
That looks outstanding Kevin!!! Wow you nailed it. It looks more like the recipe.pics than mine. I sure hope you enjoy it my friend
As I told Jimmy, I used cod, that sauce is out of the world.
 
Great playlist. Never heard Count Five before and forgot about the Standells but I think I played that Traffic album four or five times a week.
Steve Winwood is a legend

I think it was 64 or 65 when I got a small pocket radio from Sony for Christmas. It was a ghastly pale blue and brushed aluminum, AM only, used a 9v battery that only lasted for about two hours but it was portable. It was the first one in my neighborhood and I was very popular, as long as the battery lasted.

CCR was addictively good music.
