What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning!

I have to get some frozen foods today. I’m debating the PE mysis again or something from PSP. The fish and corals seem to enjoy the PE mysis and it does support my local small business but I need something for the bettas. lol.

Also, that’s a lovely snake
Well thank you very much
 
If anyone is looking for a cheap ATO that works well. I ordered this one from Amazon a few months ago and it worked great until my reservoir dried up while I was gone hunting for a week because I forgot to refill it before I left. What surprised me pleasantly was when I contacted the company to see if I could just order the pump they sent me an entire new kit for free even though it was my fault the original pump burnt-out.

Any of the betta testers know how to link my build thread in my badge area?
I'm not very into the beta app, but from what I've seen, all the badges changed and I don't see anyone with the one from the tank thread, now I had to delete it and download it again but I'm not very involved in that, I'm waiting for a few days to pass to see how it goes because I don't feel comfortable using it, it's been difficult to use, for me, Very different, sometimes different is good but I think this is not the case, They should have moved the same thing that is here in the web to that same app and everything was fine, but there are too many changes together, Just my 2 cents

I agree that so far for me it does not seem as user friendly but I'm hoping it's just me and others might like it. I did find out that if you hold your finger on the little badge picture it will tell you what it's for which helps.
 
Most people get freaked out over them....

My best friend and her husband had a huge albino like yours her name was Butters they had to give it to a reptile rescue that does educational stuff at schools because they lost their house they were renting due to mold and had to move in with family where they didn't have enough room for her.
