Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning Joel! How are your Kleiniis doing? Mine follows all the other fish around. This morning it was hanging out next to the Banggai Cardinal, just hovering mid-tank about two inches from the Banggai.
They're doing well, getting big fast.
The larger one is quite aggressive, taking on the trigger every day 😳
I've actually never had fish that are that aggressive towards food. It insane, really.
I can't feed them enough.
But they're both very social.
I'll try and get a Pic later today.
Apologies, yesterday was quite a busy day.
Hope you are well Tom.
 
I’m home kids! Discovered my CBB dead 😢 . I thought getting it pre-quarantined and feeding it what it had been eating for 6 weeks would give me a great chance of success but I hadn’t seen it eat in 10 days. Not sure if I’ll pull the trigger again. She looked so beautiful in my tank.
Terrible!
So sorry Kev 😞
 
Well....
Wife and I went out on the boat yesterday.
We put a ton of dough into it this year, hoping we'd get out on it every week.
We decided on the way home we're going to sell it.
Just too much for both of us at our age to do unfortunately 😔..
 
I'm seriously trying to be on here more with you guys....
I was hoping life would slow down a bit after the Cafe but it looks as though the older I get, the busier I become...
 
I really love them. Last fall my husband dug up several varieties and tossed them for me. Downsizing.

It was lovely thanks.

Very good Steve. I did mention I wished these were divided as easily. I let them grow into giant clumps. Will be a PITA to thin. I have a few really heavily ruffled ones. They are just starting to open here. Below are a few photos of my daylily bed. It starts out as tulips. And my favorite gardener. 😂 My mother


I love this
Hi Shelley !

Just picked up my boat from the shop. Would not go into forward gear for about two years. Now the boat instruments are all off and no power to the blower, bilge pump, ect. So back to me working on it so we can sell it! It is a shame that I can't find anyone to get it fixed anymore. Local shops will only work on newer boats.
 
We took are Sarah (kitty) to the vet today. Looks like some type of infection. And yeast in her ears. Two shots are meds for her ears. Hopefully she will feel better soon.

Moved a firefish and filefish into observation today. They both look great. Not as shy as last week.

Cleaned the clinics tank. It has developed cyano and some strange snotty looking stuff. This is since their power outage killed almost all their fish and depleted the oxygen. Sighs
That snotty stuff could be Dino’s

And nobody will work on inboards any more either .

Ours was in for over 2 months.
Every time we called, nothing.
Quoted $1100.
Finally picked it up 2 weeks ago and was given a bill for $2200.
I paid them $1100 and towed it home.
Complete disaster.
It needed to be fixed. Nothing you can do with a broken old 94 Reinell so I'm glad we fixed it. I wouldn't sell it broken, too much on my conscience for that.
I'm right there with you Lowell.
They only want to work on the new stuff.
I'm just hoping Betsy goes to a good home.
Still some life left in her...
 
Good morning everyone! Been a busy morning making a hashbrown casserole to take to work today. We are having a birthday breakfast for one of my coworkers and we are having omelets so I thought a hashbrown casserole would go good with it.
