What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Black coffee is for those who were born with their man game already set to max. 😎
John, I don't think I'll show this post to my wife, she may not understand 🤣 🤣 🤣

We both drink hot coffee or tea black but have 'sissy' drinks when we have iced coffee (very rare) and drink nothing else except water or the occasional juice, usually to hide the flavor of some medicinal additive.
 
Oh jeez, my youngest son who has never owned a saltwater tank got me corals for my Christmas present. I don’t know what I’ll be coming home to. I hope they are small, I don’t have anymore frag racks.

I am so excited for you Kevin. I have a feeling when your youngest son sees these corals growing in your tank, he might have a special attachment to them. You might have a new protégé after this. Please send pics when you can.

Thanks, he was a fresh water master but got out of it when he moved into an apartment with his girlfriend of 5 years and gave the tanks to his older brother. He says he doesn’t have time for one but he is always researching and suggesting a certain fish or coral. It will come. I just not sure what he got me, hoping it’s not Texas trash palys or an equivalent.
 
Do you have room for them until I get my upgrade?
Uhhhhh, if you prefer them to sit in an empty tank, then sure, I have room.

It really does. I'm normally a pretty happy person but lately with not sleeping well I have been over emotional and having horrible mood swings and just exhausted all the time.
Amanda, it sounds like you may be approaching menopause.
Wait, are we allowed to talk about that here.
