Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Looking better, thanks John! I installed the UV sterilizer yesterday. I couldn't even see into the tank, I didn't see any rock, coral or fish. Today, I can slightly see the front of the rockscape, and I've seen every fish. It looks like 2 or 3 of my gonis are closed, but my two favorite ones still look decent. I'll have to dip the gonis that are closed once this madness is over. But for now, I'm just letting the tank and the sterilizer do its thing.
Good to hear Walker, keep us updated.
 
the mountains don't get too much signal. And to top it off, my Sirius account got cancelled so the radio cuts in and out. And they mostly listen to country. Then my email even froze on Sunday for some weird reason. So yeah, cut off from the real world for a while.

Someday I would like to know that world that you say exists outside of Reef2Reef

Well, here's an update. I was moving the uv sterilizer to its permanent spot and while doing thay I broke the power cord :rolleyes: luckily, the power cord is separate so I have to find/buy the cord, but this is not good as the uv sterilizer isn't getting power anymore. UGH. Nothing has been going well with the tank since I've gotten back.

It will work out Walker. Sorry to hear about the setback.

I'm so sorry you're going through all this, my friend, But rest assured that you will emerge victorious from this little battle ;)

Sometimes it's nice to take a break from the real world...

yes, had to spend a bunch of time though catching up. satellite radio I guess the credit card expired and didn't get the update. so they just cancelled it on me. but I think everything's back on track. pets are all happy again that we're home.
