Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Get off your phone, eat your $36 small popcorn and watch the movie that you paid good money see!
Or... do what I used to do as a kid and sneak in food. You would pay $0 instead

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.
Wishing you the very best and much happiness my friend. You deserve the same peace that you wish for us everyday.
 
I'd also like to wish a happy birthday to my little girl.
My daughter Lucy is 22 today.
My how time flies...
Happy birthday to that young lady! Congrats Joel

you can come cook for me and the fam anytime. I promise no eggs.
 
@kingranch2003 We don’t know how to say no to anything over here related to fish so we say you should totally do a freshwater planted tank! We had a bunch of planted tanks but one day it crashed an we have switched our interests more to saltwater and corals 🪸

Beautiful! I loved my Oscars back when I had them. They were almost like puppies! Freshwater is just soooo peaceful.
 
I did go with that one! Also added a couple Acropora millepora mini colonies!
I seen that! I'm so excited to see them in your beautiful tank my friend!
 
Hey I only paid 14 bucks for a small bag of peanut M&M and a small coke.
We normally sneak snacks in and a flask. Buy a large soda and share an adult libation during the movie!
 
Wishing you the very best and much happiness my friend. You deserve the same peace that you wish for us everyday.
Thank you John 😊, always there for me!

Would be on my way Paul anytime 😊
Thanks Paul and good vibes my friend 🧡

Same and it's very annoying. This morning it would take me clicking the "like" button probably 20 times to get anything to happen.

A kid? I still do that!
Well, what do I do now? Simply don't go to the movies and wait for it to hit streaming so I can watch it at home and enjoy whatever food I want to 😅
