Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Stop by this weekend and you can have all you want! Roads are great here, not.
Roads here on Wednesday were the WORST I've ever seen in all my time living here, even the freeway (what is considered the freeway.)
I'll start driving this afternoon....
What month does the sun come out?

What month does the sun come out?
That is hard to predict, here in Northeastern Ohio we only have, on average, 3 days of sun a year. We all look Goth.

We have 5.
Try duck dynasty with a bit of anemic Billy Idol and that's 98% of the male population.
 
I have no sps at all.
In fact coral is 2-3 years new to me.
Is that orange shelf looking stuff the Monti?
Ya monti cap, this is how they began.

Both grow to fast, Im going to need a bigger boat! It is going to help when you get here and take half of both. In a blink of an eye I’ll need to do again. I’m really trying to avoid having any of my animals end up in the trash.
 
That's what I've always wanted. I like the shelf look.
Grows fast for you I see.
If I had to do it again I would have grafted a green one to the red. I’ve seen those in other tanks and the contrast of color, wow.

It's cool you even know how to do that.
You know if I didn't have to boat to your house and lived close I'd pick some up in a heartbeat.
 
Just had a zoom call with the big guy, not god but our boss, office closing at 1:00 pm instead of 7:00pm . Might take me a few hours to get home in this mess but I’ll have a little extra quality time with my tank today!:):D

Then you'd have to show me how to take care of them!
They are easy, like soft coral easy. Just need to maintain calcium and magnesium.

Take your time please drive safely my brother.
 
It's faux...made from silicon. Flexible and will sway with the flow. It has a plastic anchor. I know it will get funky, but cleans easily. This is a personal piece. Andrew was extremely upset at the beach when he was younger that we couldn't save the one that washed ashore.
 
Yay! The mail ran. No glue:( but...I did get something for the new tank.
Make the drive up I have plenty and @00W is on his way to pick up some birdsnest and monti frags. I got home early. Oh it’s byob, I’m down to only two cases of beer and don’t know when I’ll get out again due to the weather.
