Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
If you can’t do piece by piece, second yes to air stone. Pump would be last thing I unhook and first to hook back up.
I can't because my Kasa power strips are also inside the board, but I can try to put the 2 power strips and connect the return pump as fast as I can and then do the rest.
 
Yea i came home at 10:30 and my viparspectra were on. Stupid things keep their settings but lose their time when they turn back on.
I think my light was at full intensity when the power came back and that’s what tripped the circuit the heater I don’t think would be on. MP40s are not hogs. But the ATO pump not being a hog either would have come on. I think the light is only 150w though?
 
Morning everybody.
Gonna do some modifications on the remora today and see if I can get a good holding on the tube so I can actually put it in today.
 
Anyone knkw what these beetles are on my squash and how to get rid of them?

Have to kill them at the soil where the eggs and larvae are.
Also maybe rotate your crop next season.
 
Wow, stunning Brian!!!!!!!
Thank you!!

Anyone have any idea about this?

Splitting/Forming new heads correct?

Red spots are they sponges? Should I remove?

Ps I’m asking just cause that’s my Holy Grail torch lol

Yes, it appears from the picture to be splitting, congrats. It will look majorly unhappy for a few days to a week or so. It has decent flesh bands, sign of good health. I have the red things as well, they have never caused a problem and I’ve never done anything with them.

Im building a few more raised beds this fall for next spring. I'll move all my squash/cucumbers to a new one next year. I found a lot of people saying to suck them up with a little shop vac so I'll try that thos afternoon
