Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
BTW - in case anyone was wondering; I ran out of Grumpexia. The sad part it that @Slocke won't give me a break on the $17,000 a month for the script. So, you guessed it, I am back to being a grumpy curmudgeon.

If anyone would like to create a GoFundMe Grumpexia for me then I could start taking it again. Until then, DEAL WITH IT!
 
Great choices! That guy can find the nicest corals! You made some beautiful selections. Im dying to see the gonis!

Wait until you get the package. VR goes out of his way to make it a special unboxing experience.
They are so pretty in pictures I can't wait to see them in person especially the pink tip one!
 
He needs a magnifying glass, please excuse him
Cheaters. They're called cheaters and I do not need them as I am near-sighted. Thank you, very much, freako.
 
Hey everyone if I won a prize in a giveaway is it okay if I give it away. I don't want to anger the gracious giveaway people :o its just a $25 dollar gift card but I may have overstocked my tank with corals and don't plan on adding any for a while lol

(I was going to give away the $25 Dust Bowl Coral Gift card if that matters) :D

This is not the fish I got but it was the cutest little thing I ever saw so I thought I would share it too.
"The cutest little thing I ever saw." Really? Have you seen some of the young kids of the members in this thread?

Plus, have you seen pictures of @kingranch2003 and @kevgib67 and @Rocks reef ? Those guys are pretty darn-tootin' cute.
