What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Jimmy,

Received the skimmer stand! It is truly a work of art!!! I can not thank you enough.
I am hoping it fills your needs, if not, tell me what it fails at. I do a lot of hand made, if i can help a friend then its worth it
 
Hey Smorg!
Been absent since early yesterday. My son was saying his stomach and back hurt. I did the McBurneys test and knew it was his appendix. Spent the night in the ER and he had surgery early this morning.
Prayers for an uneventful recovery!
 
My friend, you out did yourself. My wife said I need to send you money!
none needed, just be happy. I love challenges, never made anything like it. hope it works out
 
I just saw the thread on the new posts lists and made a comment. Then @JoJosReef called me out and the rest is hx
I think 🤔 when the group was new ,I think I spoke with Tim and Kevin then I left for a while not knowing it was still going strong then I came back and Kevin was the one who welcomed me back . Who knew it was going to be on this long lol!! 😂
 
Sick sick sick sick sick 🤢
My youngest son bought these home a couple weeks ago and cooked them up like shrimp scampi. I’ve only had them breaded and deep fried.

On a positive note. I HATE the iPhone camera, but here are some recent pics.
I promise my tank does not run this blue. I just can’t figure out the iPhone camera

That is unbelievable. Personally I think corals pop best under blues, but I know what you mean. Obviously you're using the lens clip over the camera lens? Try to find your white balance or WB and see if there is a slider or bar that you can raise.

I hate to hear this Rock. He's in good hands between the hospital and his dad. Wishing yall the best, my friend.
 
I was at a firefighter academy and a vegan was talking about how he had been given a leather jacket his friend "found by the side of the road" and talked him into wearing when he rode a motorcycle. I didn’t ask how he justified all the bugs him and his motorcycle splatter midair while riding during the buggy season.
Yeah I never could figure out the "logic" either. A lot of that kind of stuff is just virtue signaling anyways.
 
Plumbers have a knack for fixing pipeing problems, but insurance company may have a problem with it
My doctor gave me two options:

Take a sample after the sewer
Or
Camera the line

I chose taking the sample. 🤣

I came across Joel’s thread at the beginning and although he hasn’t been on much, Joel was being Joel and I couldn’t leave. Since a lot of great people have come around and it got more and more like a place I like to stay. If I come across good people I try to bring them over as much as I can but some get scared off by Tim sharing things like cologaurd and rectal ease.
