Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I think I’ve got it somewhat eased up but this definitely where I lament not having at least a 3 foot tank. The IM 30l I had work well in situations like this. If one of those popped up for sale I’d grab it in a heartbeat.
Check on Black Friday or Cyber Monday Steve.
 
You have got to be careful with those gamma rays Amanda, look what happens to Dr. Bruce Banner when he gets angry!
I wouldn't mind being a little stronger but maybe not Hulk stronger...
 
I slept in (stupid sinus infection) and when I got to work, our admin had made a pot of Kona hazelnut. Not really a fan of hazelnut but coffee is coffee and hot coffee is essential with sinus infections so...
Yummy!

That could be interesting lol .
“Hello, ah yes , I’d like report a large green woman wearing a butterfly costume. And no I didn’t ask if she knew Halloween was over.”
 
Good luck brother. If you have any questions, you have my number.
Much appreciated my friend. I will definitely take you up on that.
 
I have had bigeminy for several years and recently been having more issues with it even with my medicine, being short of breath for no reason and my heart racing even when I'm just sitting still, and tightness in my chest when I try to walk at a slightly faster pace than a stroll, I have also been more tired than I should be. We were hoping it was just that I needed a new sleep study and cpap machine but that hasn't fixed it. So now we are trying to figure out what's causing it.
Amanda Im keeping you high on my heart today. I hope you get some excellent rest news soon. Not knowing is the worst.
 
Hey Carolina Gold BBQ sauce is my absolute favorite kind of BBQ sauce
I like the mustard base as well. If I'm not mistaken, it originates from German immigrant influences. I remember living in Germany, they had a sauce that tasted similar to Carolina Gold.

Thank you my friend. I just want to feel better than I have been...
 
There are a Jersey Mike's and an Arby's on the way home from the hospital. I'm not sure which one yet, but one of them is going to get destroyed by ya boy!
Arby’s just bought back the cheese steak sandwich John! Can’t go wrong with the curly fries and/or mozzarella sticks.
