Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It looks to me like you are doing a really good job of glassing that hull.
so far I'm OK pretty much doing everything else but I really do not like the fiberglassing part. At least the inside concave part. Not looking forward to the Bow and Stern 😢 Hoping I can get them done in the next couple weeks. The exterior will most likely have to wait till spring since I need to seal all those seams first and sand it down.
 
There are plenty of fish you can get in a tank your size! I would make a thread asking for a showpiece fish for your tank!
I did a while ago and that was the fish reccomended.
 
I have a second interview for a different municipality on Tuesday...

And I have a possible strained or torn rotator cuff...
Mixed feelings here Tim.
First, congratulations on the possible new job
Second, sorry to hear about your shoulder brother.
 
If everyone jumped off a cliff and said they were fine, would you do it too? Just because people say something is fine doesn't mean it is always the best option.
Spot on sir
 
not that I want a tang but what would be your opinion on a 112g 36x36x22? Originally I kept going back and forth with the 36x48 but the 36x36 fit better in my space.
I would keep a White Tail and be very comfortable with the decision. I would also consider a smaller Acanthurus sp. Like a Chocolate or PBT/PBrT all of which are stunning fish.
True... but when someone says "tank crash" I think EVERYTHING dies... not just fish. I don't consider that a tank crash... call me crazy... 🤨 🤣
I concede this victory, good Sir Rocks, but know this:

My wife talked me into castor oil treatment on my shoulder last night. Not sure exactly how it works but it feels better this morning than it has in the last 3-4 weeks. Yes, I said it's been 3-4 weeks. Leave me alone, I'm stubborn! I decided a long time ago if you don't go to the doctor you're not sick.

Oh, yeah? How's that been workin' out for 'ya?

Are you able to lift your arm out to the side?

I haven't had a doctor tell me there's anything wrong with me since I was maybe 12 (broke my elbow - no avoiding a doctor with that one). Seems like I must be fairly healthy?

Like motor oil? Did she use a big needle? That stuff is thick!
