Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Sadly I can’t. That is the top of the cave and that rock is glued to like 5 others. I could snap the frag off the plug. Idk if that will damage it.
I use a knife tool that came in my frag tool set, just slide a bit under glue or plug and start lifting, comes off easy
 
I’m waiting to binge it when it’s done. U gen Zers want instant gratification. I can’t wait a weekend between episodes!
Agreed, I wait and binge entire episodes for everything pretty much
 
One step closer to getting up and running.

- BRS 4 stage RODI value Plus edition - paid $250.00 “NEW USED” was still in shrink wrap.


Will be adding plumbing and circulation pump to move RODI into salt bin.

Will be building a 4x2 stand so the brutes will sit on top at an elevation

I know I’ll have to adjust my RODI once I move the brutes up. Wanted to do a trial on the system to determine if I need a booster, SHOCKER ; I DO

Simple fix, as you can see this was my old bathroom that recently got demolished. I was going to refinish my basement but basement flooded and stopped that project.


I’ll clean this up a bit and post it once it’s operational.


Group question: HOW DO YOU MAKE AND STORE YOUR WATER?

Looks amazing!

And my RODI jenky mess.

I almost never store made saltwater and with 5 tanks have only maybe 6 gallons of water on hand.
 
Ok @kevgib67 if a person has 3 ruptured disks in their neck, and a doctor wanted to fuse them, wwkd?
Oh, so many variables. And so little information. Not sure what wwkd means , you kids are just to lazy to type out whole words. If the disc herniations cause progressive neurological deficits then absolutely especially if the person received 6 weeks conservative care. Spinal stenosis would also be a factor. I’ve been doing this over 30 years and things have changed so much. Patients need to meet very strict criteria in order to go under the knife which has increased positive surgical outcomes so much compared to when I first started. As always a second opinion is always a great idea if only to confirm that the surgery is necessary.
