Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
All good here new fish seem to be doing well. Tomorrow I'm going to place the mushrooms and the montipora digitada I got in this week.
Amanda I noticed earlier tonight that the frags of digi that I knocked off are still alive and growing on the sandbed lol. It's a very hardy coral
 
I am gonna drive to Cali and see a friend.. Think I am may import stuff when I go semi retired for the rest of my life....never can fully retire as the contract states...no books no nothng..
That reminds me of a book series by David Baldacci called, "The Camel Club", that is about a group of guys and gals that TRY to retire from a similar style of profession. If you're a reader, you might like them.
 
Man, I was gone for an hour and was behind like 6 pages lol how's everyone's evening?
I had the same issue lol. Everything is good here. How's life treating you tonight my friend?

Good good! My son is sick, projectile vomited on my wife last night lol so spent some time washing the carpet. Thankfully his fever broke today... Fingers crossed rest of us don't get it.

Otherwise shopping for the wife, need to make up for a self purchase 🤣

How about you?

Doing pretty good man, I honestly didn't do anything exciting today. Im sorry your little one is sick buddy. Is it just me our do our kids stay sick these days? My kids are always in some creek or the ocean, so they're exposed to everything! Then they go back to school and it's like they dont have an immune system.

Seriously, they are sick once a month guaranteed... he plays in dirt in the cold with no socks or shoes and literally first week back from spring break and he's sick.

You're doing your part right! Kids have to get dirty. Eventually they will have to wear shoes everyday. Let em be kids!
 
You too! I'm sitting on the couch catching up. Just designed and am printing a couple of calibration tests for my 3D printer.
DMing you.

That is fantastic! I hope mine proves to be the same way because I'm really liking the color!
