Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So far I'm enjoying it I love watching them go from rocks and sand to as pretty as yours is!
Also why he is providing us shirts, caps, hoodies and now toupees, premium hair pieces as well.

When he posted the hat and sunglasses I was a little disappointed that they were for him and not his urchin... going to pick up lunch then I will look at the rest while I eat.
 
You know my tank is going to crash now!
Better not!
I honestly believe that when I say it.
Should be tank of the month for sure.
Mean that sincerely. :)
 
Thoughts on UV sterilizers.
When should they be introduced.
Do I really need a 800.00 one vs 70.00 on Amazon?
I can’t help you much with equipment. I bought the one made for my tank after an ich outbreak. Did notice I could go a couple days longer for having to clean my glass. It doesn’t remove algae from your rock or glass but from the water column before it settles there.
 
The Mrs. Took me out to lunch for my birthday and realized she hadn’t gotten me anything. I told her lunch was enough. We were heading to the lfs and she was going to the Amish market next door so I told her she could buy me the coral I’d been looking at. Bam, it’s in my tank. I couldn’t have planned it better. Full whites are on currently so I’m going to take a picture when they ramp down. It has more pastel colors. I’ll post it on my build thread since I reached a milestone today and hit page 4 but had to bump it a few times to get there. Getting nervous @00W ? I’m coming for you!
