Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yea at my age everthing is a challenge, lol.
Now I must ask. How young are you?
Heading to the gym, leg day!
No more squats do to my back.
I can however put up 7 plates per side on the leg press and pump out 4-5 sets of 10.
How many plates can you do?
Hmmmm, depends on how much each plate weighs. 😂 I do love burpees for breakfast. And completed the 100 pushups challenge in my 50's. Bench presses and skull crushers are my favorites though. Hope you had a great workout. 🏋️‍♀️
 
Chinese buffet: 4 plates
Italian:3 plates
Seafood buffet: no plate limit
I will eat Chinese food anyday!
Wow, how beautiful is this hybrid angelfish? It’s a cross of an eilbi and a lemon peel!

Where did you see this? Beautiful!
They create gym muscles made to be used in gyms! Some of the strongest people ive ever met dont look it!
Not all gyms are created equal. I like cross fit. And group classes. My YMCA offers a variety of classes. Body weight workouts are great for overall health.

We have our share of the type you mentioned. Not for me.
 
I hope her visit went well with the doctor.
She is going to a have a round of chemo and then radiation, the cancer in her hip is back, its not aggressive, they think they can keep her with us for awhile, but may have to keep fighting it.
