Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
They got fed last night that's for sure. I found out that the shrimp goes even further than I thought lol. I didn't need a full pound :face-with-tears-of-joy:
Confucius once said, if life gives you shrimp make scampi. ;)
 
Most people get freaked out over them.
I had a reticulated python when I was in undergrad, everyone on my floor in my dorm would come to my room for the weekly feeding. He was beautiful.
 
Morning y'all!
Enjoy your Saturday!

Good morning Joel, I hope you have a much better day than you are expecting.
 
How's he doing this morning?
I’m about to feed. He was out this morning but whenever I get close he swims into the rocks.
I actually have another one in there now and hopefully another next week. They won’t be permanent residents though.
In a few months they will all go into a 220 gallon with a 100 reverse lit sump.
My next build thread coming to a theater near you stayed tuned…..
Lol
 
Good morning Joel, I hope you have a much better day than you are expecting.
Thank you Kev!
We'll have to see.
The roads are frozen solid today and bad.
Snow turned to rain turned to ice rain then froze last night.
Slip slide and away this morning.....

I think I know just the spot! How much rpom do i want to give it? They're aggressive correct?
I've witnessed so aggression with mine and it's kind of jammed up in the middle of some other corals
 
I asked the wife to stop and pick me up a few shrimp. Just enough that I could chop them up and feed to my cleaner/fire shrimp when I target feed corals...

Needless to say I'm either doing a lot of prep work or eating shrimp for dinner tomorrow night.
Great fishing bait too!
 
No worries we're on the same time.
I'm way up north Idaho, almost in Canada but pacific time.
It's you, me, Tim and Jill on pacific time pretty sure.
You're not behind, the east coasters are ahead. ;)
I'm Mountain right now.
