Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Each skimmer is different but usually the manufacturer has a recommended water height. You could try to find that? If those don't work you can also put a valve on the air inlet to the skimmer and dial back the air but I would try raising it first
I won the skimmer on here a while back and had to go back to find the brand lol it's a reefrythm. I am now watching a video on it. I had it setup for a while but then for some reason turned it off.
 
I have had cichlids before and enjoyed them. My most recent cichlid setup was a Lake Tanganika setup.
Oscars are not the prettiest fish by any means, but in fresh water it's hard to beat the personally.

My brother had two huge Oscar's once he would hand feed them worms and such.
 
Not at all, and I was younger in his prime. I never understood his appeal
So I just thought about something and kinda feel bad. This is a safe space and I didn't realize people had posted weird al as something they liked. I have a different sense of humor and really don't understand the appeal of many popular comedy.

Don’t sweat it, I’m with you. There are some popular movies that I didn’t care for like Ferris Bueller’s day off or Dumb and Dumber. People get excited talking about them and I just stay quiet. Boy, I hope I didn’t just open up a can of worms. :thinking-face:

We are all individuals with our own unique likes and dislikes and are adults (at least most of the time) and can be this cozy little extended family and still be different from each other.

He was so good yesterday, nobody fought him, he ate twice, I hate when these things happen
Aw man, I am so sorry! That’s going to ruin my afternoon. Losses suck.
 
Phew that's good because I didn't know if I could trust anyone that didn't like horses... ;) :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Although I never had one, I grew up with my parents taking us on trail rides, I took British riding lessons, a lot of my parents family in Michigan had horses I would ride when we visited and I used to watch Mr.Ed a lot! Well there was one horse I didn’t love, my father’s cousin’s colt that bit my arm when I was a child and man did that hurt and left a large bruise.
