Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So the Mrs texted me asking if I wanted sauce ( ODG did I just text that word) for dinner. I said sure just make about 1/3 since it’s just us three and my youngest son isn’t big on leftovers. This is what I came home to.

Simply stunning evening for hunting. My husband got a doe so we are getting closer to having enough for the year. The sky was amazing the longer I watched it the prettier it got.

I saw in the news Maine's largest was a 291lb 11 point.
 
19 years? That's not constant Tim!
I've worked with 6 different City Managers, 7 different Department Directors, 4 different Water Superintendents, 3 different supervisors (before me), and probably close to 50 different water technicians in my division alone at this job. That doesn't include the 3 years I worked in a different division and the 3 years I worked at a different municipality. Most of the people I work with now came from different cities and all but 3 of the 13 technicians working under me I personally hired within the last 2 years.

Change is constant.

I've had 6 different positions at this city over the 19 years.

Geez, almost as bad as the casino industry. I wont bother learning someone's name until they've been there at least a month.

Lots of "What's up buddy?". "Hey there pal!"
 
Thank you! And I don't think I have officially said welcome to the Smorgasbord! My name is Amanda.
You remind me of another on here named peanut. You don’t happen to love and own horses and have like 50 dogs?How do you feel about deer hunting, cruel or necessary?

Thank you for the feedback. It take a little time for the berghias to get started after they settled into a new environment but eventually they take off and start tackling the aiptasia. A lot of people get frustrated since they don't see results overnight and think they are not working.
i need to ask you more questions about them. will need to do something fairly soon

And then the awkward run ins at the store.
"Hey man, did you transfer"? Haven't seen you in a while Dav... Dan... buddy!

They look great when they fill in! If only there was a way to keep one from outcompeting the others. I had 3 or 4 and ended up with just one haha
Small separate rocks. If you like one color more give it a bigger rock. Then place them as you want with little to no touching. Like 2 Baptists dancing
