Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I've got a LOT of reading to do before I'll feel like family, more like an exe-in-law at the moment.
Or like a current in law. Ex in laws are the best!!
 
@tbrown doesn't really let me associate with him since he's a west-sider and I'm not even an east-sider. I'm more a southern-betweener. He does let me see pictures of some of the neat stuff he has won from time to time. Oh and he shows off all the fancy coffee-type drinks he consumes while I sit her with my Great Value 'Classic Blend'.

You are probably much better off!
 
My 25 year old daughter is a nurse practitioner but the coolest thing to say is my 22 year old son is an HVAC technician like Luis!
I think it's pretty cool I can say my oldest is in the Air Force...

Hey, I tried to meet up with you in Mesa/Tempe once to give you Berghia... I even offered to give you some Strats. :slightly-smiling-face:
 
Probably already answered but no - it needs about 4" minimum between the two, more if you're allowing for growth.
Where I'm thinking of putting them i think it's about 5 inches from each other. I can confirm it tomorrow as I'm already laying down.

Are you holding out on the berghias on me? :face-with-tears-of-joy:

@tharbin he usually just wins stuff, I can't believe he offered to share with you and you turned him down!

Are there any mechanical engineer types among us?

I’m asking because I have an idea for a ceiling mount for my new Meridian 43 and I want to bounce ideas off. But! I don’t want to clutter the SmorgsBoard with it.
That's what we're here for!

Where are you located if you don't mind sharing. I'm in Sylva, NC.
 
No, but it is awesome sauce! A lot of graphic sex and ****** and violence, so not for the faint of heart, Amanda.

I loved Highlander and have watched all of them! What's not to love about a sexy red head in a kilt? Lol
 
You can’t believe the faith I have in you Luis! You can do it! Remember it all started with this lame post.

Thanks. Good start. I've only got 38,297 to go. 38,298 38,299 Oh never mind...
 
It's hard to say without knowing the flow on each side of the tank, I would put all the hammers together, the Duncan is well positioned if it doesn't get much flow there, I see the Birdsnest well in height but it all depends on the flow and the par you have there
I didn't know you could put hammers together thank you!
