Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It looks like you and Kevin last week when no one would stoop so low as to accept the "2nd best torch" from Rock. The night air was rife with the chilling sounds of, "I get first choice"! "No I do!, former friend!" "Die!!!!!!!"
It was scary and there was fire.

Well I’m done waiting for Amanda to except my sincere apology, looks like she’s taking this grudge to her grave. I should have known, she’s still not speaking to Bev after the massive 2025 fight over who has the better barbecue sauce NC or SC. So Amanda!
 
John, Ole Miss isn’t out of this, they can still win this game. Plenty of time, over 10 minutes left in the 4th. Chin up.

The sad thing is, you're very obviously sincere, and trying your best to change :)
You deserve another chance!
You're sad, so now I'm sad.

Hello Smorg!
Been getting stuff around for Halloween. We get probably close to or more than 1000 kids. I brought out the fire pit and a warmer. Setting up a table and chairs for my mom and dad to pass out candy. I bought 40 pounds of candy!!
 
Thanks. Crazy part is it happened so fast. I’ve never had a stylophora go like that before. Always if they do go it’s been a lingering hang around make me hope for a while then die.
Strange. My stylo has survived everything I have thrown at it. Wish I could give you a chunk of mine.

We are lucky to get 30.

in the past I had a Stylo colony that was pretty much as you describe but for some reason I’ve lost 2 Stylos in this tank so far. And thanks for the sentiment.

Howdy Rock, that sounds like our previous neighborhood that we raised our kids in.
