Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Cept for the freezing rain
And snow
And sleet
And frozen flying things.
But when it warms up no problem tell me show me how I'll send it out.
I know I am nowhere near the point where I need to frag corals and sell them but when that time comes I will offer it up to yall for free.
 
Working 65+ hours managing an alarm company for a year was just too much.
Yikes that's too much!
I cut myself back to about 55 a week at the Cafe and I relate.
But I also do all the cooking so I'm a bit stuck there.
 
Just wanna thank all you guys cuz no matter how bad silly or stressful day I have/had/am having you all just take my stress away can't thank you all enough.
 
you can rent one , check with local reef clubs in your area to borrow one ?

Ok I will give that another try. I asked around but nobody had one.
 
You might even be able email the light manufacturer and give them your tank depth and get an idea of what you'd have
Good idea. Didn’t even think about that. Thank you
 
Do you know where I can get a par meter? They are so expensive and just need to use it for a day. Does anyone have one that I can borrow?
Good morning everyone, did anyone say up past 10:00pm? Did I miss anything? @Reef Devils , not sure if you want to pay this much but you get it for a week. Maybe some local reefers would want to use it and all chip in to make it very cheap. I thought I got the price in the picture, I believe it is $55.

Tomorrow's my crazy breakfast day so I'm out for now I'll talk to you all in the morning.
Have great days tomorrow all of you.

Is it true that Guy Fieri and his crew are going to be there this morning? Let us know when it will be aired on the Food Network!
 
Ok, I feel like I need to do some posts so that anyone on the outside looking in doesn’t think I got kicked out of this cool club. Last night I was watching a movie and finishing off my second case of beer, yes it made it and I should be able to get out and stock up today. I glanced at my tank and my fish were going crazy. I grabbed my flashlight and my tank was filled with these little creatures, bigger than pods. They weren’t graceful swimmers and were kinda shaky. The fish were going crazy eating them. First thought were both my cleaner shrimp bottom sides were full of yellow eggs but eggs were still intact. Not sure what and where the little things came from. Snails, crabs, urchin, rfas or clowns spawned and I didn’t know it?
