Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I remember the 60's as a child. So much has happened since then. I don't know what's true anymore though. Hard to know what's real and what's made up. I feel I need to travel the country and see for myself. Starting in Dearborn Michigan. The 70's were also great.
I’m just old enough to remember the moon landing of Apollo ll . The seventies were mixed bag , mostly not great due to my mothers bipolar break and alcoholism. The eighties were much better to me.
 
I just need a way to stop my nosy husband from knowing everything that's coming in the mail. How can a girl keep secrets in today's cyber world?
Just tell him like I do that your friends on here sent them to you or that you won them on here... I don't think he believes me because he just shakes his head and laughs...
 
The decision phase. Great choice. I changed my mind a lot. And finally settled on the 4' tank.

And what's wrong with that? 😂

I have never tried either. And after my competition with a friend lifting weights I hurt. My triceps and biceps hate me today.
Sounds like you need to try them all so maybe your triceps and biceps will hate you at least a little less today.
 
I have this one coral that I can't remember what is called but it doesn't seem to be growing at all. Its still nice and green but it doesn't seem to be growing and i have had it a long time. Can you help me with what it is so I can see if I need to move it somewhere else?
