Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I've got a powerhead going at 240 gph.
The hob was small but effective for flow.
The anemone won't do high flow.
You're right and I was thinking the same thing Luis but the cyno was thick only in the high flow areas, which I didn't understand. I'm hoping to get nitrate up to at least 10.
It does go to show that the natural denitrification process does work.
Oh I understood that the only thing you had for flow was the hob
 
Come down here and we can hunt the rugaroo for free!
That would be awesome! They are symuch magnificent creatures and would look great mounted over my fireplace. Is it true they taste like gator?
 
With these conversations we've had these days about the average lifespan, I don't think I'll buy another one.
Again sorry, I don’t think they do well in our tanks that’s why I was excited to see a couple thriving ones.

You mean taste like chicken ;) :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I think I should have explained my post better instead of just answering super quick while whistling to my boar to come back into his pen. If you paid for a raffle ticket or spent money on entering a contest and won the item, and you don't want it, then I don't see anything wrong with selling it. There's nothing wrong giving it away to a friend for free if you know they need it or it'll benefit them. Karma will come around full circle. :) Always try to do better than the day before.
I need pictures of the boar... lol
 
Ya, I’ve been wanting to take my 30/30 down there for a chupacabra hunt. I’ve spoken to a guide who strictly take’s customers on chupacabra hunts and claims he knows all the best chupacabra lands in Texas with the most dense populations of them. Very pricey though, going to be after my daughter’s wedding and my tank upgrade.

Ok I know I am way late on getting you guys pictures of my corals from diyreef on ebay but i finally got some tonight. The I think raja rampage broke off is plug in shipping so I'm not sure it will make it but I still have it in the tank.
Sorry the pictures aren't great.

Ok, I’m trying to figure this out. Obviously chunks of seasoned dungaroo but the yellow chunks puts me at a loss. Do tell Luis.
