Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I feed it maybe 1 time a week. I gave it AB plus last night.
ok so your only doing the ab plus liq, red sea...broadcasted in the tank..???.If you are they need something substantial...like MEAT lol meat like mysis, or a pellet ...
 
This picture was from last week. It’s not completely open in this picture and it’s now even more closed up. I will send a picture when I get home.
Could be splitting a new head. Mine look like crap before and during a split.

liquid AB plus may be adding to your GHA issue..it has mixed reviews as do most stuff. I used it in my old 140 for maybe a month and threw it away. May have been a contributing factor to red alage.. I switched to Brightwell Restore, and other products Brightwell makes. Saw a 180 turn around in the 140 and when upgraded to 300. All I use...I would say switch to feeding mysis, pellets and hold off on liguid until you get gha under control...And if you want to then go back to AB plus, use half the dose your doing now, and I would dose half of the half dose twice a week so that your not over doing it with nutrients all at once, thus having extra in your water column for algae to use...oh i need moe coffee.
 
As we speak!

My doctor yesterday was worried about the low cholesterol levels in my blood work, put me on a heavy and strict bacon regiment!
 
Yes that’s a Duncan. They are about 6 inches apart from each other. About 3 months ago I had to move the Duncan higher because the hammer stung the Duncan really bad. I don’t think they are fighting anymore.
ok ducan can send stingers 6 inches or more...so that may be a part of the equation why the hammer is closed. I hope you know I am just sharing what others have taught me...playing it forward...

I also feed it some frozen meat food
 
@1ocean focus on only one jellyfish. This will help at least make the adrenaline subside.
lol...I think your gonna have to try a different approach with your ideas while I lay back on the red couch while you write in your book....your idea of focus on one jelly fish just puts my mind into,,,ok I can do that and take them out one at a time...a fun practice drill...guess your gonna have to try again...lol

It has a few heads splitting but it’s been like that for a bit.
 
It has taken me all week to catch up to this point today. What is wrong with you all? Am I the only one that works in this bunch besides Joel?

Anyway carry on.
You see @Lowell Lemon is is about priorities. I think you may need to realign yours closer to ours: @00W build thread, god , family, country, Ohio State Football, work etc. in that order.
