Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Went to put my hunting boots on this morning and the bottom was falling off... I have had them a long time. Luckily there is a Tractor Supply on the way to where we hunt in Georgia so I stopped by and picked up a new pair. They aren't the same brand but I hope i love them as much as I did my old pair.
Crispi or Danner. There's some other good ones out there as well but those are my two go tos.
 
Hey guys just got done being a chaperone on my son's field trip to the last home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. They had civil war reenactments and we got to tour the grounds.

Tank looks better. The buffed up Sea Water is working already I think.

Looking great Steve. You have some great looking corals my friend, and may you have the most awesome birthday ever, brother!
 
It's a great but somewhat sad day? River's last day of being a baby, as his first birthday is tomorrow!
Oh don't worry Bailey. He'll be a baby again soon enough when he becomes a teenager. :)
 
Crispi or Danner. There's some other good ones out there as well but those are my two go tos.
My last pair were actually considered hiking boots. They were a brand called Vasque or something like that. They lasted a really long time and were comfy from the day I bought them. I bought them when I was laid off after covid hour and I was hiking between 7 and 14 miles a few times a week. They were great.
