Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I had a hard day at work. My part was easy, but someone I've worked previously with for 3 years was attacked and pretty severely injured. I responded to the event but was mostly an observer and comforter to those actually involved. Still trying to steady up emotionally, but y'all and my family are helping.

Glad you are okay.
Are they OK?

They went to the hospital. Not in danger of death, but hurt pretty bad. They were in pretty severe pain and I couldn't speak with them. I'll probably hear more in a couple days/next week.

wow! scary. im really sorry! yes, thatd shake someone up. hope everyone is ok. so sorry!
 
0800 hours... Huh? I really need a tuxedo urchins man. I hear they seriously destroy GHA.
I dont have one. My main algae defense is proper light schedule and nutrient stability/control. For algae my cuc is 1 emaerald crab, two huge turbos my stomatella population has exploded! I have so many that i pick them off and put the little ones in my aio sump. I agree with you that urchins eat algae for sure. Here's a before and after in my wife's tank.

Just the vibe, and being free to share it with you is a big deal. It really helps.

Sorry brother. I've dealt with medical situations at my previous job sometimes. It takes a lot out of you, even if you're "just" a part of it.
