Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
way to early to be up.
We are always up early normally my husband is up around 4:30 and I'm up by 5:15. He always gets up and let's the dogs out into the yard and then makes coffee for me.
 
Do any of you like to read? My husband loves i guess what you would call historical fiction and I'm trying to surprise him with some books for Christmas. Anything with cowboys or military or stuff like that. I bought him the entire series of Earl Swagger by Steven Hunter a couple of years ago and he loved it.
 
Good morning everyone

Geez Luis, wow, there is so much color it hurts my eyes. I’m going to get my Ray-Bans so I can enjoy it even more!

I read mostly Dr. Suez but check out The Man in the High Castle, a spin on after WWII, it takes place in the US but the twist is Germany and Japan won the war. Also Outlander , a modern woman ends up in the 1700’s and falls in love with a man fighting for Scotland’s independence. All of the battles and kings are all accurate. Black Sails, piracy in the 1700’s, all characters are factual in this drama, My all time favorite, slam dunk, is The last of the Mohicans. Today is your day young lady, get that 24 point ( that’s a 12 point Tim) early and go home.

I'm already home my friend we came back yesterday. My husband is Sunday School Superintendent at church so he pretty much only misses when he's sick.

@WalkerLovesTheOcean , there are more and more threads about nicrew gen 2 also (new light). Initially I wanted to go noopsyches but shipping and delay made me buy locally.
Thanks, Remi! I'll look into those, too.
 
Ugh...so my nutrients are very close to bottoming out, I've noticed dinoflagelletes and my corals are closing up because of the dinos. I am going to remove all visible algae/dinos, dose hydrogen peroxide, do a 2 day blackout and feed way more, as well as throw in lots of pellets.

I'll try to find the old series we read. Historical, went through several generations starting at WWI I believe.
 
I can't find it. It was like 30 books. I think it started at the Civil War, not WWI and it went through several generations.
