What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
One of my friends here at work gave me pumpkin spice hot chocolate to try. I was hesitant at first but it's really quite tasty.
I’ve had it before. It’s pretty good. I’m just a little tired of putting pumpkin spice in everything these days. Even SPAM has a spice flavor variety.
 
I sent Dr. Reef an email asking for an update on the status of my McCoskers wrasse since I haven’t heard anything in over two weeks. I hope that they get back to me today.
Beautiful fish. I had one years ago.

That right there is why I wanted one Orly, they are a beautiful fish. I’m trying to be patient and I appreciate Dr. Reef not sending me two sick fish, but the 5 yo in me wants it now.

I haven’t outgrown the 5 year old in me either. I 100% get it.

Peace ✌️
Good morning Joel, same to you!! ✌️
 
I’ll put this out there once more since we have had an influx of new people. Here’s the #Smo#Smorgasbordatar that Luis created if anyone wants to use it and be cool like some of the rest of us.

Ok, a crazy turn of events! A few weeks ago I was at my lfs and asked if they could get me a CBB. Kinda forgot about because they didn’t seem to thrilled about it since they are so difficult to keep. One of the owners called me just now stating they have had it for 2 weeks and didn’t want to call me until they were sure that it was eating and healthy.
