Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm still here everyone, just real busy with work and projects around my house, tearing down my rear deck (old) and getting ready to build an adult playground in place of it. Have not decided on a large deck with an enclosed hot tub or lay a concrete slab with the hot tub house and an outdoor fireplace with accompanying seating .Its a big project, getting my estimates on lumber for the deck and comparing it to the cost of the concrete. if they are close i am going with the slab, maybe a 20x20 slab. the deck will take more time, the concrete with be easier and faster.
Good Morning Jimmy!
 
Landlord has prospective tenants over to look at place today. I’ve been working my A z z off to get my room looking decent. During the recent stretch of this summer I was pretty depressed so it got run down in here. Don’t get me wrong it still cleaned myself for work and had things to wear, but there were empty pizza boxes etc. Cleaned kitty litter, I’m surprised she didn’t start picking it up and throwing at me. Just gotta vacuum.
Morning Steve!
 
I'm going to be mostly offline this weekend I think. Leaving after work today for deer camp. Opening morning tomorrow.

Do you have to bring your own deer or will they provide one for you?
 
Well, highly disappointed with the two plate corals! Each is about the size of a dime cut in half. They should be beautiful when I glance over from my wheelchair as my family takes me and my luggage to the car on my way to my final destination of the nursing home in five years. Maybe the size of a nickel by then. The pictures were so beautiful but I didn’t realize that they were using a microscope.
