Additional Aquarium Information

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

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.

Woo hoo!!!! Good luck my friend!!! I still have about two months...
I had stint as a bow enthusiast in my mid teens. I convinced my folks to get one for Christmas when I was 14 (just a 30 lb pull) used at camp for a few years.
 
I’m surprised 😮 I guess that’s probably how they do business . Did they show how big yours was supposed to be ? Did you get those today ?
Today. This is what I bought.

I only rifle hunt so my season starts later. Bow hunters get to start a good bit earlier.

Maybe they will open up and be bigger once they settle in?

Wow that’s false advertising to me. In some states you could sue for fraud if I was bad enough. I generally steer clear of TSA though I did enter a big giveaway they were having about 2-3 yrs ago.

I’ve used them for years and never received anything like that but I did go in person ! Hopefully they come back like Amanda said and be bigger once settled in . Could you imagine if he paid full price ?
 
I'm going to be mostly offline this weekend I think. Leaving after work today for deer camp. Opening morning tomorrow.

Morning people. Feels like an early winter is approaching here.

May the bow gods bring venison to your table! Good luck!
I only hunt dear/pig with a bow now.

The good mantis on my ghost plant.

I hope it doesn’t mean they’re heading the way ASD did. They had big chonky pieces at good prices at one time and now they’re the basement store for corals.
