Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
We're waiting for sponsorship lol
I'll sponsor you guys but there is a small condition. You have to go by the moniker I mentioned. 😆

(Looks like I am hooked on the word "condition" today!)
 
No one wants to hear anything out of your mouth but, "Hey, guys, check these out. I went back to the LFS and scored the Dendros I had mentioned. Aren't they sweet? Even sweeter than the Dendros @kingranch2003 has in his tank. Still, maybe he'll want to team up and we can call ourselves The Dendro Dip****s." LOL!


I never have gotten close to 12 hours. I once did 5.5 hours, in a row, but that was aided by being up for a couple of days and, oh, let's say, also enhanced by other means.


It's a Caffe Latte with two, double shots of Espresso. Looks funny but, man, are they delicious. Just like me!


Lowell is always there... lurking. Lurking Lowell or, perhaps, Lowell The Lurker!


Please see the first comment above.


Holy moly, man! I sure am glad you didn't have a much worse outcome. My father-in-law once went into a diabetic coma. It's actually how they found out he had diabetes. Yeah, he had all the signs but never said anything to anyone about them. Then the crash. He's old school. Raised in Poland after WWII. Never, ever, ask for help or let anyone know what condition your condition is in. (see song below.) Nearly cost him his life. I had to have a very serious and hard talk with him. I am happy to report that he has since let us know when something doesn't seem right.


Again, please see the first comment above.

In reference to the comment about my father-in-law...


I appreciate it man. It was definitely a scare. Im glad your father in law got some treatment. That generation is so different and so much more reserved about things like that, but I can absolutely relate

We can discuss the terms, absolutely
 
Just a reminder my toy drive is still going on. Up to 67 cents and hoping to get it up to $1 by the end of the day. Still got a way to go, Christmas is around the corner and some lucky little kid will be getting the Waterbox he/she is has been asking Santa for!

I'm in.

Throw some dendros in a cart, somewhere, and DM me the link or do like @tbrown is going to do; go to the LFS and pick them up. I'll pick up the bill via Zelle. Just DM it to me along with your phone number so I can send the money. BTW - I am being serious. There is a condition though... you both have to keep it under $75 each. Consider it my Christmas gift to you guys.

What a cool offer!! My only problem is, im about out of space where I could put any. My colony has something like 15 heads and has the whole rock covered!

That my, friend is an extremely cool offer. My question is.... do you have any? Id make the same offer to you as a Christmas gift if not.

Never done that. I've had a cup of plain black coffee with a double shot of espresso and that is deliciousness as well.

Do I have any? You're a funny guy. I thought everyone here knew I presently do not have any systems set up. It's a long story, as most of my stories are, but I was going to have a 60" x 36" x 30" AIO, acrylic tank built similar to Tom's @tharbin . Then I thought about it and thought I fully insulate and add a mini-split to my garage. Then turn it into a cool fish room. I started buying gear/equipment, live rock, etc. to get things moving. Then, and very recently, some things changed at work which has caused me to put it all on hold. So, in a nutshell, I am resolute about getting some systems going but do not want to until after the work situation is settled.

I was the one who told you to get back and get them . The price was unheard of !!

Nah, it's their standard price at my LFS. They grow them in the back room. Along with a small pile of my Strats.
 
Im not sure if Ive seen the yellow ones. If you get some we can be the "Dendro Brothers". Ill make us a logo and everything. NPS will become the hot new coral!
WE can all be Dendro’s brothers , I have two colonies of them !

Do they ship . . I can always buy more . Once I get rid of this black sponge

Is that Aquaholics?
 
Thanks, I've only been to their Chandler store.
That's the one I haven't been to yet. I wasn't super impressed with the Phoenix store - not bad, I just prefer their Surprise location.

They geet me by name there.

For a while, I was known as "Hey, you're that Strat guy?"
