Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I had a feeling that we’d be hearing about snow this morning. In your honor, and the honor of all you Smorgers who get the white stuff, last night, I snapped a quick pic of where I sit, most of the time while R2Ring, while you all were getting snow.

Ok, you all have been busy this afternoon while I was away. So there are a lot of quotes coming in...


What's a Disney character got to do with it?


You and all the rest of the #Smorgasbord are always welcome!


I sure hope you can sing this one later...



Nearly identical. Only thing missing is your dancing pole.


@smitten with ocean life - it's probably worth checking out the used cameras and equipment on this site. Very reputable, great customer service and some great pricing. (A friend of mine has the Sony A7 iii. It's mirrorless and a killer camera for the money.)

I've seen your picture, big boy, and it's fiiiiiine. LOL!






The three F's are always present here... Fish, food and friends!

Great stuff Mr. Chris!
 
@kingranch2003 John, I forgot to add ... Jay's Exotic Auctions has good stuff, Calikid Corals auctions... uhmm... you can snag stuff for pretty cheap on ReefnBid as well. Reef Regeneration has some crazy prices too. Pieces of the Ocean... trying to remember all the sites I watch for stuff.
Thank you so much Rock! I spend most the day looking at corals, now I have some more places. I want to pick some good pieces like you got today geez man... Insane stuff!
 
Wait what is this a tiny house . whatever it is its cool !!! nm i just had to read ahead more SWEET !!!
Paul @Üter Does some amazing stuff. He's our village architect.
 
dam you FIB lol JK looks great !!!!
It's going to take more than a little damnation. Especially when I've been danged by far better than the likes of you! HA!
 
Yep, it's right there on my info to the right. "SW, FL, USA"
Ok! Well, that tells me I may want to go back to my old practice of keeping a few bucks back for bail money.
