Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Don't make my mistake and stick it as low as you can. I did it halfway down the tank and now I don't know if it will grow down there since it grows towards the light.
Cut some off and relocate it to the bottom of the wall. Perhaps?

In the photo there is a rock on the bottom left that I am preparing for that.

How does one prep a rock? Are you sweet-talking it? You know, like, "You have such a nice shape and your curves... Mmmm... You know you got what I need."
 
Happy Friday, everyone!

To give without any reward or any notice has a special quality of its own. Anne Morrow Lindbergh

A common thing I see a lot of people do is give to some organization or maybe an individual in hopes they will reap some reward/recognition. But is that truly the spirit of giving? Shouldn't our mindset be to give without any reward/recognition? By simply giving your time, finances or any other way you want to give without receiving something in return, you are benefiting that individual/group and yourself. So as we go through the weekend, look for ways to give. Don't expect anything in return, but do it because you want to make a difference in someone's life.

This is Sabaton. Generally gets regarded as power metal, but from the lead singer, "we are just guys who like making metal." What sets them apart from other bands, and what makes them unique, is that every song they make is based on real events that happened in history. Not only are you getting some well-rounded songs, but you are also getting a history lesson. Two albums they made were purely about WW1, and one of their albums was about the history of Sweden. Yes, there music can start sounding samey if you listen to them enough, but they are a fun band to go back to from time to time.

Good morning, Smorgs!

Hope you all have a fabulous Friday!

As for me, I’ll be doing more than they pay me to do. With any amount of luck, it’ll be less chaotic than my normal days.
Good morning Chris!

Does giving people a hard time count? I mean, after all, I'd do it without expectation of anything in return. 😉

Also, I am sure you are familiar with Rammstein. I've always kind of thought that Sabaton took a page directly from Rammstein. Speaking of Rammstein, they are releasing some new songs soon.
