Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@kevgib67 Kevin I was thinking. You haven't had a chance to show @CoralB your highest grade corals yet have you? You know the ultras and masters? If you get a chance after breakfast, im sure none of us ever get tired of seeing them.
Well John you know I’m a humble man and I don’t like to brag. I kinda felt bad after posting them the last time because it made everyone’s tanks look like they are full of Texas Trash palys. But since you asked nicely………..

So stunning Kevin

I dont care how many times I see them, they never cease to amaze me. This is why I started reefing. I mean the color and texture are so phenomenal. One day my friend I hope ill be able to buy a frag from you and have even a small piece of these rare beauties.

How is Jason liking the martial arts classes?
I think I need more coffee or maybe some meds. Sometimes my mind goes sideways. When I read that to myself I read it as Marshall Arts and pictured Bob Ross dressed as Roster Cogburn at an easel. It was not a pretty picture.
 
No potato sticks to confuse you today.

Just FYI, CVS, or at least my local CVS, doesn't carry Potato Sticks even though they have just about every other junk food conceived by peoplekind. I just had to have some after your post and the only store I was going to was CVS. I guess they are now considered a gourmet selection. Maybe I'll get some in a gift basket.

Haha! Good morning Tom. Im right there with you today.
 
Never heard this before. Good song,
I thought you might like this one Tom. This is a good band, but they only released this one album. The main singer and songwriter of the group (Richard Atkins) developed such stage fright, that he discontinued the band and his career.
 
Hi everyone! I typed my good morning this morning but forgot to hit send.

Good morning peanut! You and your husband need to come and setup a tree stand on my patio to fill your freezer with these thieves.

So my wife was out shopping today and snapped a shot of our car. No real reason to share it other than I know a few of you like cars and I like the shot. Not bad weather for 12 days before Christmas.
