What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Anyone here ever tried these? I don't like the look of other frag racks and tight about trying one of these.

I have not but wonder if they have too many holes? I just too a few carribsea rocks and used a masonry 1/2" bit and drilled a hole where I want it.

This one is to attach to the glass with magnets as a temporary place for the corals.
 
We are always here for you Luis.
This thread is for all discussions, no matter how big or small, no matter what.
You are family.
Whatever you need whenever you need it.
I need Kevin to stop lollygagging and get that birdsnest over here. I've been nothing but patient :face-with-rolling-eyes: :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
Good morning everyone. We recently installed security cameras. One day my husband and son where working on my barn building it and the neighbors Rottweiler chased a guy down from their house and the guy jumped up into my father in laws truck bed to get away from him. My husband yelled over to ask him what the heck he was doing the guy said he was supposedly looking for another neighbors house. Husband said he looked like a drug head which the neighbor he said was looking for we are pretty sure is a prescription dealer. I also have my conceal carry and never leave home without one. There are just too many crazy people in the world anymore.
I have one with me at all times and i practice as often as possible to stay comfortablewith it... I have a family to keep safe and unfortunately the world's getting more and more crazy..
 
Trying to enjoy this nice cool morning and relax in the tub. Can’t help but think about my $2k in coral that’s been sitting two days in a warehouse in New Jersey probably all dead by now.

Ordered my Dinkins phyto and pods this morning. I was going to order them next week but after seeing the forecast next week and seeing only this Friday and Saturday are the only days above 30 degrees I had to rethink it.

I forgot that I have a $50 gift card from them, I'm going to order some now
 
Your wrasses will thank you!
Since I got the wrasses I don't see a pod anymore lol, I put one of these on them last month
