Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I’m so mad, sorry I needed to vent. I stopped to get my hairs cut ( much more convenient to gat it in one trip than getting a haircut and you have to keep going back) and for the second time in a row, different ladies, I was given the senior discount. The pricing states it’s for 65+, I’m not even 60 yo. I thought I would feel better getting that off my chest! 😢

Don't they give free haircuts in prison?
 
We're on the same wavelength this morning Kevin. That could be good or bad for the rest of them.
I read it was her birthday today, 82 yo, thought it would be appropriate.
 
What's cooking with Kev today?


I work till 2:00 on Fridays. 😢 My wife works every other Sunday so might have to release a podcast every other week when I can use her kitchen.

Hey, maybe they just assume you’ve got that ‘distinguished and wise’ look — it’s practically a compliment! Next time just smile and say, ‘Well, it takes one old-timer to recognize another right?!’ Then duck before the blow dryer hits you. 😁

Embrace the discount.
 
Did he shed or pass away?
He shed. I thought he might be stuck there, but when I dropped some sinking algae pellets he moved out of that space adroitly and started working on them. He's also scraped a bunch of aiptasia off those rocks since he molted
 
Well, I’ve been on Waterbox live give away on YouTube and I’m so excited to inform all of you that I didn’t win a thing, nothing, nada, zero, goose egg!
