Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good Morning Bailey! Good luck on the wiring. Volunteering at our church is one of my most rewarding activities, but not always easy.
Thanks! I feel like I have my hands in so many pots at ours, haha. Media team leader; help with a young adults class (mostly college-age people) when I can; now we are starting up a boyscouts/girlscouts group (not named that; I forgot what the name of that is), and I plan on helping with that. Just because I enjoy outdoor activities, and I love watching kids and teens develop a love for nature and enjoy the creation of the world around them.

Hi Amanda. Thanks for asking. I'm fine we just woke up early and I had most of my chores out of the way.
