Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
This classic auto-played immediately following Pink Fairies. I've never seen this particular video of the song though.

@kingranch2003 - you need a room like this with several tanks set up to top it off!


Id never leave it. Im picturing a 200 gallon lagoon on the floor in the front. There also needs to be a mangrove tank with pink gorginians somewhere. My wife would just shake her head and smile.
 
The clear still didn't turn out super clear but at least I got the two pieces lined up and not under the nozzle for problems.

See, too many guys named Steve. Although, I must admit that Steve Schuerger does look and sound very familiar.

Way to get back at it man. No matter the outcome
 
@That Crusso Kid You can relate!
Here's one for the morning crew. My drive home this evening was epic. Most people wouldn't guess Mississippi if they were asked where this was.

Good morning to all you Smorgers.

It's Thursday and I am wondering where the week has gone, so far. Hope you all make it a great one!

Only 20 days left before Christmas.

@luis angel All good brother?

some of you have been awfully quiet! @luis angel ? @WalkerLovesTheOcean ? @Remi ?
All good, friends, just a busy day. We're getting ahead on work to see if we can take a few days off at the end of the year. After work, I had to take Jason to practice, and when I got home I put up the Christmas lights on the front of the house. I finished a little late and tired, so I took a shower and went to bed early. Thanks for asking.

What? No Heineken? Say it isn't so!
 
I knew I had seen them but I had to look them up. I was already a computer engineer when this debuted so not high on my radar.
Ok, you’re one, I’m pretty sure Jimmy and Joel will know so that leaves just four of us in the old geezer club.
