Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Phew caught up here and posted pics and updates on my pico thread. I had to take my son to Asheville to sirens the weekend with his aunts and uncles and cousins that took a huge part of my evening is an hour there and an hour back. He's going to be getting his license soon and I'm going to miss driving him places because we laugh and talk a lot on trips.
 
Paul.
I am so sorry about all your allergies and everything else.
You are not deserving of any of it.
Your attitude and humor is amazing and commendable and you make me laugh at least a dozen times a day.
Thank you for taking time every day and spending it with us.
That is a blessing.
 
Absolutely! I have one and it looks just like mine at that size. I agree with Luis on the favia and acans. Maybe green bay packers zoas?
Possibly! They look very different in person. I'll try to get another photo tomorrow when there is less blue light.

Oops Wes I thought it was a kids educational video game my bad...:upside-down-face:
 
Tomorrow, I am going to the biggest single day coral shopping event in the whole country (at least, according to them). Lots more corals will be in my tank tomorrow! I can't wait!

Luis.
That does look like a Maggie muffler or a variation.
I tried to get mine out but can't.
So.
Mine is 1 inch.
I put a two inch piece of of pvc in a t, put an elbow on the t,then installed a cap on it.
I drilled a hole in the cap just big enough for a piece of airline.
I stuck that whole thing in the box.
Killed about 70 percent of the noise.
Start with the valve, play with it a bit and adjust your pump speed as well.
You'll get to a point where it's pretty much silent.
Just remember to adjust the valve and pump very slowly or you will keep passing your sweet spot.
Hope that helps.
I'm terrible at explaining.
If you have questions ask I'll try and help.
 
We got our lunch rush at 2 today.
We close at 3. :crying-face:
Hate when that happens....
Oy! Reminds me of Christmas tree lots in Cali.
