Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My husband loves me this way lol
My wife just tolerates me but that's better than most do so I'll take it! :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
Casa Grande, AZ. Half way between Phoenix and Tucson.
So, he lives in the desert.. now I have a question, is it true that in the desert you don't remember your name?

Many years ago I was a truck driver and seems like I remember passing that town. I went from NC to CA and back a lot.
 
I have helpers who have loads of debt for degrees they will never use. Honestly, right now, trades are where it's at. Unless you're brilliant and become a doctor or engineer or something
I went to college for 6 years, ran out of money and dropped out.
I was washing dishes in a saloon and told myself I'd make more money doing that.
I got a raise to $4.25/hr and I was living large.
35 years later here I am....

Yup. I 10 goes right through town and I 8 starts (or maybe ends) here.
 
Not that I’d talk my son out of it if he chose to but I run a roofing and sheet metal company. Blue collar makes the world function, AI can’t replace human hands.

Not sure. I haven't been able to remember my name for several years now, but then again, I'm old.

Would you rather have a different group of reefers to talk to? If you ended up getting all rich and fancy, there's a chance you wouldnt be caught talking to us!

The desert can be beautiful at times. I remember being surprised my first trip through.
 
You can’t believe the faith I have in you Luis! You can do it! Remember it all started with this lame post.

When you look up "I'm done " on Google this comes up now I'm almost positive.

ITS TRUE! The song is true! Guys, this is a golden opportunity! We can rename the desert people.. :thinking-face: where @tbrown at? Oh Tom! :grinning-face-with-sweat:
 
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
There is decent flow there and should be good par i have never tested it but it's close to the light. My wavemakers run a random program where the flow isn't always the same.
 
Sbb tagged me in this and before i could even click buy now someone bought it sooo friggin fast.....
