Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You okay Kev?
Thanks Will, I’ve spent the last two hours finding a good therapist and I start next week. I’m hoping to avoid inpatient, shock therapy sucks, since the last time they tried to push a lobotomy!
 
Alright, I think I’m going to stay on this thread for a while. Just got badgered by teo on another thread. I basically said I didn’t want to argue and I am done and have a good night but they just keep posting. Jeez, I threw in the white flag and was nice about it. I know I’m abrasive and I don’t play nice but this is the first time. Oh well, I hope it makes them feel good.
 
Thank you Luis, you shouldn’t have, as you see, they are right and everyone else is wrong. Your a good friend but there is nothing that is going to change the way they are. It is best to let it be and let them beat their chest.

I don't intend to change anyone's way of being Kev but I don't like him saying things that you didn't say, because from your post you said that to your knowledge there was no bad copepod, there are ten thousand ways to say the opposite without sounding mocking or assuming that what you said was correct when your words were, that to your knowledge there was no bad copepod.

Oh Jeez Luis, you went back two more times guns a blasting, thank you. As I said before you are a good friend but let it rest, as you see , there is nothing to say.
 
oh wow! did you get lucky and the light didnt submerse all the way. I see its still working.
The lid saved my tank, everything would have been electrocuted, I don't know what to do now or where to get something urgently, tomorrow I'm going to the lfs to see if I can get a base for the lights that can be hung from the ceiling or something, I already checked Amazon and they are not available
 
had a radion gen3 with the arm back in the day that plunked my light when I was messing around.
hanging is the way in my opinion, put up shelves above these tanks so it didnt have to go all the way up to the cathedral ceiling.. This is the coral quarantine tank.

Oh oh, this is bad news :crying-face:

If you've got a couple of 2x4s send them across the tank, rest the edge of the light on there for now Luis.
Just turn it down a bit.
Redneck reefing been there before.
