What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
But marshmallows are amazing!!! You have to have them to make smores and smores are a very important part of life! Not too mention no hot chocolate is complete without them!
Baileys in hot cocoa is WAY better!
 
Anyone else get excited for water change day or is it just me and my sadistic self? Brute can is ready with my 10% weekly change, RODI container is cleaned out of all Kalk in prep for tomorrows goodies and glass is cleaned.

No im right there with you! I love nothing better to sit in front of my tank the day after a water change when everything is basically saying thank you.

You look at your tank sitting there with water drained and your corals are drawing in and some are even out of the water. It's almost like you're doing something wrong to the tank lol. Then time after time, it just works and the system keeps getting better.

My regiment relies on water changes and it's probably the most hands on thing you can do for the tank. Nah I love it too. Ya gotta pay to play!
 
Smores? I love. Marshmallow by itself? Not really
I can do smores... but not a roasted marshmellow. I light them on fire then see how far I can fling the flaming glob of burning sugar!

Redneck napalm! I love it
 
I’ve corresponded with @Remi and he and his family are in a dangerous situation. He gave me permission to share his conversation. I know we are a praying group, he and his family could use them now. Put them in overdrive.

I don't hate math? I took Calculus in high school and almost went into computer engineering. I guess it's fun at times, figuring out a problem. Although in my last semester of college, I wanted to chuck my laptop out of our apartment window because the math was so tedious and annoying. Passed the class, but wasn't fun
So... you're saying your smart...
