Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
We have no Costco here. I'm having some from Tanzania that I got through the coffee club I'm in its really good.
I had a roommate in college who did a coffee club like that. He loved the coffees they would send him!

So far they have all been so good I haven't had to add sugar to them to make me like them! The one I'm I'm is the Atlas Coffee Club and the coffees come from all over the world and you can chose the roast you want as well as if you want beans, ground, or kcup, decaf or caffeine. They send you a like post card with each one that tells about the area the coffee comes from which I think is neat as well and a card that tells you about the coffee as well.
 
Whew! Sorry, busy day today. I was "networking" at the shooting range this morning and then lunch at QT before a meeting. Just finished that meeting and finishing a cup of coffee and considering heading home for the weekend.
Networking at the shooting range... then a long lunch... a coffee break...and leaving early. Are you looking to hire an assistant... if so, I know a guy!

Wow, and it's not terrible in pricing either! I'll show this to Alycia (I'm not a coffee drinker, so I wouldn't benefit from it)

I approve depending on what guns you are using, haha

If she decides to try it let me know and I can send a code to get her a discount.
 
I was at Petco today to see if they had any porcelain crabs, they had a favia frag that's as big as a saucer for about $200 . also talked to a young guy that has been working his saltwater tank about 8 months. Told him about R2R
Favia are awesome! I wish I had room for a big colony of it. My crazy lobo melted my last one.
 
Man, my mind is mush because of climbing. I see V8 and wonder where the rocks are. (Vscale is how we judge the difficulty of a boulder route. V0-V16 is the range with the average climber doing a V5)
I see pure American muscle

could not sleep good, up and down all night.. so just made coffee and here I am ..
Sorry to hear you didn't rest well. It stinks. I know because it has been a lifelong problem.

hmmm I predict a uptick in the amount of flame throwers sold soon lol
You going to get into the flamethrower business? lol

My generator is probably 50 years old by now. But it fires up and runs every time.
What brand?

The old brand, lol I have no idea. I'll look when I start it up tonight to make sure it's going to run. It's green and old.
 
hmmm flame throwers for the zombie apocalypse and melting snow...
Comes with free chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers. lol...
And COFFEE!
 
I would LOVE to see snow like that. The most snow I've ever seen was about 8 inches.
I grew up in one of the Lake Erie snowbelts and spent many years in New England, don't care if I ever see snow again. It's fun, for a while.

Here in Georgia, we make mug angels instead of snow angels.
