Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You would think, cheaper to transport short distances. Does Jack Daniel’s make vodka?
I think they do secretly in the back room.
 
Chicken noodle soup today seems like a good day for that.
8 degrees and everything frozen shut.
I'll try and get some soup sent out to Tennessee on overnight.
@Reef Devils - @fishguy242 had great advice about maybe adding some flow to your infected areas of sand. Give that a try later today.
If you've got a dc powerhead you can adjust it up and down easy.
Meant to tell you that last night but passed out instead.
I will definitely give that a try. Yesterday I ordered another powerhead for the tank. One side if the tank has good flow and the other not so much.

Thank you!
 
This is the one that I ordered. It is supposed to have good power and is small.
Never used that one but many people talk about them all the time.
Try running it in a bucket of water first so you know what it'll do.
Hate to put it in and sand everywhere.
Is it dc controllable?
 
Good morning everyone!
Not feeling so great today. That snow blowing took a lot out of me yesterday.
But I'm gonna blame this on @Katrina71 for making me laugh so hard I threw my back out.
Yeah, that's probably it.
Sure...blame the redhead. I see how it is. ;)

Good idea!
I know you can control it on an app.
 
Evening everyone!
Hope all is well
I'm guessing I'm the only one on pacific time in this group but if y'all are up, need to chat, vent whatever I'm here if I can help no problem but I listen well for a man at least.
 
Some of us had a little no fun today.
@Katrina71 hope you have the heat on drink in hand and I really screwed up today @Idech my apologies, my bad I'm a dork and the tank looks amazeballs.
@kevgib67 hope you had a great day and had one for me, 2 would be OK!
@Reef Devils good to talk to you today as well.
 
Fish room.

Now that is a fish room. I wasn’t sure how much you would want so I had 1 or 9 for you. Happy to do it again the night before my next day off! I’m a team player.

1 or 9 is about what I was thinking....
And thanks for taking 1 (or 9) for the team.
 
Hey everybody.
This afternoon was a great day!
I finally caught the flame angel in my tank that has been nipping at corals.
I am going to be replacing him with a yellow tang from biota.
The tang is arriving tomorrow and is going in my 10 gallon observation tank before he goes into the 90 gallon.
I am not quarantining this time so I will just watch him from the other tank for 2 weeks.

I'm guessing that's the tank we talked about a while ago?
