Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Wow! That is really nice Steve
I had it planted with anubias, swords of a few types some longer sagitaria, and arrow leaf lily. Initial fish were discus, cardinals, 2 kinds of Cory cats
 
My wife and I do that as well. We go to the movies on occasion, but for the price to go we'd rather wait and watch it on the sofa
Godzilla is one the few films I’d go the theatre for in general. Though the American versions are not really appealing to me anymore as the plots go further off the deep end .
 
Gonis are easy brother!
I threw a lot of them in the trash can when I first started reefing. I'm definitely a lot more knowledgeable now though!
 
I don’t know for which you speak but I miss my bell bottoms. Jordache jeans were extremely popular when I was in middle school. Anyone wearing them had the look you wanted to know better. Maybe a handful of people on here remember that jingle?
I definitely remember Jordache!
 
Hmm.. I will check that out. I may have a LPS or two
Doesn’t have to a current one even. As long it’s corals I’m at tank yuu own or owned and you took the pic.
 
My youngest son took all the steak for lunch. I really wanted more another steak fajita so I thawed one from the freezer.

At least I’m not the only one haha! I thought so too but I am having a hard time on how to reply to @kingranch2003 welcoming post I swear I replied to it but now I can only see the heart😅
If you want to add a link to your tank thread on a phone click on your avatar icon to access your account go to signature and I believe you can at least add it there by copy/paste the link

I might be just the angle but that looks like a camouflaged sea cucumber .

Good afternoon Nikki, you still haven’t met everyone yet.
 
My kids are 2.5 years apart. We were aiming for 3-4 kids but it took us 3 years to get pregnant once we were ready and then waited a year and a half to start again and it took a year after that. He was a little intense on the energy levels so we decided 2 it was!

Also, my daughter was an emergency C-section two weeks late and my son was a semi-emergency C-section a month early. We didn't necessarily want another C-section.
Sorry to hear that,that’s always very scary an I’m glad you have two little bundles of joy! I know how scary all that can be they tried on my first child I told them no an we just hoped for the best the other two went fairly smooth just lots of worries with the last one high risk so many dr’s! My two oldest are just under a year apart by two weeks.Lets just say party planning is not fun at that time🤦🏼‍♀️I was so ready for more kids until the third one came.now i think im at that point as well we’re three an a bonus child is enough for me at the moment at least haha!
