Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Im sorry for the frustration CB.
I wasn't trying to ignore you

I ended up running into an issue right about that time, and then had to get my son to baseball. Thank you for being patient enough to do that my friend.
No worries . I didn’t feel you were ignoring me . But I did vote for you . Have a good night 😴
 
Go to the Picture of the Month, not Mariner of the Year.
Because Tim, you deserve it. I’m typing honestly here. You are an inspiration for all, an advocate, teacher, mentor…. I’m not just saying this because we are friends. I truly mean it. The time and effort you put into helping others, some who are complete detritus heads…you have my utmost respect
 
I also have a deviated septum, my wife has found works best is an old shop rag in my mouth and duct tape to hold it in place. Works great!

Actually what works for me is to sleep with my back/head at a slightly elevated angle, around five degrees. We found out because I never snored when I fell asleep in the La-Z-Boy. They make wedges for the bed or an adjustable bed, but they aren't cheap.
Isn’t that foreplay?
 
Oh yeah lol. While I appreciate CBs high opinion of me there, I know exactly where my place is..... 😔

rejected tv land GIF by nobodies.
Brother, women rule the world….they have the V…we have the D. It’s (the V) been the ruin of many great civilizations
 
Dead serious man. It's so intentional, every piece! I'm stoked for you.

So you're removing some existing corals to achieve this asthetic? Are there any different corals you'll be adding, or just making space by removing some?
Removing..
 
Have you been to New Orleans? It's such a cool historic place with all the old French architecture. It's a shame what it's turned into with all the crime.
yes...Love the French quarter and all the old house down off the trolly tracks...Got so spend a few "off days " there after a chase down in the area...
Bourbon street was a blast, local pd followed us cause the street look we display until ops,,,,they put there hands on my team member lol...
 
I do believe I missed about 10 pages.

I do hope it was all positive.

And, finally, I do hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
 
@Calmwaters - I am going to need a couple more measurements and a picture of the brine shrimp hatchery. I will DM you so as not to clog up this thread with useful info. 😂
