Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hopefully you will have more free time now!
Less free time but much better work time.
Better head space is what I'm searching for. Needing some peace ✌️.
Throughout my career, I've never felt worse about who I am and what I do than where I'm at now so I can't wait to say goodbye 🎶
 
I want to apologize for my absence from the marvelous thread and all you wonderful people ❤️
I'm finally leaving the golf course and taking a job managing a local subway.
I'm grateful to those that have hired me and they really want me to manage their store.
So hard for me with my age and resume to get a decent job.
Wish you luck in your new adventure!
 
I’m from Maine as well! I am not sure how to make my own thread but I just wanted to say Hi! I was invited by kingranch2003 really excited to be here new to Reef2reef.🐠🪸
If you're on the mobile website there's a plus sign at the bottom of the page. Not sure on the computer website or the app but it's going to be similar.

Are there issues with the website? When I am on my work desktop, I have to click on things numerous times. I keep getting this message.
When I use my phone, I have no issues

Hmmm…should have clarified. The food choices should be focused on Whole Foods!
How one consumes their meal is on them. That poor kid had more on him than he’s probably eaten!
