What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

How’s your morning? Anyone know if my torch is budding? It has a flesh band.

Yep sure is! Very.nice. I was blown away when I saw your tank again BTW. Excellent work my friend
 
Got to right my speech, it’s in my head and I’ve went over it and tweaked it dozens of times, just need to make it orderly and put it on paper!
we know your nervous Kev. You'll get it right.
 
well here's tonights dinner. nice and thick too! though with the pouring rain, I think it will be ovenitized. cast iron. singe stove top and right to oven at 325? encrusted Montreal steak seasoning around edge?

Definately drop in a dutch oven! I'd make sure every inch of that is encrusted in Montreal after you sear it.
 
Spiroids are a harmless filter feeder. Their population can grow for quite a few reasons, mostly over feeding, but the good part is that once your tank reaches equilibrium their numbers dwindle. Almost like self regulating.
Ok thank you! This torch came with those already on it. That’s good to know they are harmless. Will this bud form a skeleton or fall of and attach somewhere else?

Thank you!! It’s been a lot of work and patience lol but you all know. Here is a video on my instagram.

Thank you!!! 🙏 its all from learning from everyone on Reef2reef. All your tanks inspire me to make mine look this good!
I love my diamond goby he keeps my sand so clean lol but he is such an butt. I’m constantly blowing blowing sand off corals.
 
Well I was supposed to run the dog over to his babysitters but they are at an MSG conference in Columbus and they will swing by to pick him up later today, so one less thing to do today. We just recently found them and this will be the first time but last week my wife took our dog over for a meet and greet with theirs. Super nice couple that own and run the most popular Chinese restaurants in town. Great humanitarians that are known for taking in all stray dogs and cats. In fact if you bring them a stray and will wait a half an hour you will be given the freshest take out of either Hunan beef or moo go gai pan for free! :winking-face:

Yes it is but nothing really comes from those little buds just the heads splitting.
 
Maybe. I think its relatively new.
Ozone literally kills everything. We use it in drinking water treatment but it can be extremely dangerous. It is also very unstable and converts to air rather quickly so you have to generate it onsite. Like you mentioned, it's dangerous to breathe.

My brother and his wife made three trips to China to adopt their daughters. They were assigned a guide and translator, probably kept an eye on them for the government, and my brother had to have him help steer them away from things on the menu such as dog soup.

So its UV just better. I prolly wont use it unless I have adult supervision setup etc

So that one won’t grow to full size head? It will just die off?

Kudos to them for adopting! That must have been quite an experience!

It just stays small and never grows into a full sized head.
