Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
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?
I've never been blessed by a voodoo priestess before.*




*I've also never met one before.
 
What angels would you recommend?
As far as dwarf angels go, I'm a big fan of Centeopyge Eibli. Absolute stunners, IMO.

Not my photos. I proudly stole these from the webbernet.
 
Please be careful with what some people tell you. There are a few "well respected" members on this forum that are known while very bad advice.

I've got a Tomini in my 3' 70 gallon tank but I don't recommend that to others. Mine came over from my 65 to my 125 to my 70. It's still a small guy after 5 years. If he starts acting cramped he'll be rehomed.
Does this include vetteguy.. reefermatt?

Understood. Nothing under 6 inches for a 65 gallon?
 
Matt knows his stuff. I'll leave it at that.
He's the first person that helped me on here. I've spoken with him about the white tail before.

There are guys like Matt, Matt, (me), Joel, Paul, etc that don't always do things the normal way and make it work. However, usually when people say "You'll be fine, I've done it a million times" is when it's likely to go horribly wrong for you. For instance, people ask my advice on things, I usually say something along the lines of "This is how I have done it but it's not really recommended." Lots of badges doesn't mean lots of knowledge and lack of badges doesn't mean lack of knowledge. Also, experience doesn't mean knowledge...

I don't like to call anyone out by name. There are 5 or 6 people I know of that frequently give bad advice but say it with enough boldness that people believe them.

Interesting.
 
I have a second interview for a different municipality on Tuesday...

And I have a possible strained or torn rotator cuff...
I think I did something to my spine. Had a guy fall on me purposefully and been in a bad mood all day. I feel weird mentally and my neck is in a lot of pain.

Sorry man. Alternate ice/heat. Any numbness or just pain?
