Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That's right lol. Hunting season is about the only reason I ever welcome the cold
Freezing cold? No, somewhat cold weather? I'm fine with it. Leads to perfect rock climbing weather and keeps all the bugs away from the rocks.
 
Doing another test today to make sure those last tests weren't faulty. Big WC this weekend just to clean up any possible problems. I will also turn the Remora back on today.
 
Um, no one wants to know about the pictures your wife sends to you.


Are you referring to me or a fish?


I very much enjoyed the discus I grew too. Well done!



Those may be nice but they're no Christmas.

Guys I was trying so hard to resist buying girl scout cookies from a lady work selling them but this morning I caved in and bought three boxes. I am going to share them with my coworkers so at least I'm not eating the three boxes on my own. Lol I got thin mints, adventurfuls, and exploremores which is a new flavor to our area this year...

Don't tell me those cookies are on sale again..... I loved the smores one they had, but sadly, they got rid of it. Hopefully, exploremores fills that void for me!
 
Yeah I wouldn’t make fun of Joel until we know he’s ok . Just thought it was weird that he left that message and didnt respond . I get what Chris said but he did leave that message .
I'm okay CB.
Thanks for looking out!
Didn't mean to leave everyone hangin, just wasn't feeling good after driving so I went to bed...

Yes it's that time of year! Lol
 
Not intentionally. What makes you think so?

He thinks everyone is messing with and out to get him. He just suffers from a bit of paranoia.

Me and @AlyciaMarie were trying to find the closest place people were selling those cookies, haha. I'll probably just go to walmart tomorrow as an excuse to get some
