Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Alright so.. I need everyone's opinion here this is big.
My LFS got in a WHITE TAIL BRISTLETOOTH.. and he's willing to sell it too me. Is it a good idea to buy it? It'd be the fourth fish with my wrasse. The tank is healthy we haven't had a fish death in forever it's just been the same three fish. What do you guys think?
#Smorgasbord
I've heard that they are very territorial but with other tangs, the other thing would be the price that I think is around $250? about the space that it needs I don't know anything

This is great. I just realized I had an Ink Spots vinyl the other day, and couldn't remember who posted it on here before.

Man I've been listening to your music all week, Red.
And also Paul's @Üter in perpetuity lol

I know Tangs, especially PBT are notorious for getting ich. it's just something to take note of.
 
I don’t know what it is about a good stand on the early hunt. Im super excited, but I just crash out lol. I guess im in my happy place.
I met this guy that went hunting a long time ago. he said as he was hiking through the woods, he came across a hunter laying down on the ground with a shotgun still in his hand. he thought he was dead. he kicked the guy with his foot and he mumbled and just rolled over and a whiskey bottle rolled out from under him. still completely wasted. he said he unloaded the guys shotgun but afterwards said he should have just taken it. your comment of "crash out" reminded me of it!
 
south western asians, they even have that southwest pallor and drawl.

Ayyyy congrats. So fun fact about me. Yes, I would consider myself an old-school gamer for sure. Apart from reefing, one of my hobbies is retro game collecting. I love seeing where video games have come from, all the weird promotion stuff, the obscure consoles that no one knows about, and sharing the history with people. I have a collection that ranges from an Atari 2600 in the box, all the way to ps4 era (Don't own any modern consoles). I have somewhere around 1.2k games? Lost track of that, haha. I'll have to share some of the cool collectibles I have. Like I have a Mario Kart 64 land line phone, or the LJN Video Art a very obscure game console that came out in 1987.

Here below is an estimated price of my collection with the amount of games I have (note I don't have all of my big box pc games and loose pc games logged here, so it's missing a good 40+ games)

My only hesitation is that they can be aggressive at times toward other fish. What size is your tank?
 
I think they are on the outs again!

You should have photoshopped a cigarette in the pups paw!!! Now, THAT would have been epic!
 
Good night peeps! I wish this for all of you.
