Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No we went over to a friend's house were they have a lot of rabbits normally. We didn't shoot any but the dogs had fun.
And I know you did too!
 
@kingranch2003 , wife and I decided not to plant cucumbers this coming year, so the cucumber spot has been dedicated to the Aji Cristal peppers. putting the 5 color peppers into pots so I can keep them going during the winter.
That's cool Jimmy! Im interested to see what you can do with them. The Aji cristals seem like they'd make really good hot sauce. I have to plant some more 5 colors. They looked so nice when the peppers started growing, that everyone wanted a plant. I ended up giving them away to family and friends. So be sure to hide yours brother !
 
Dang our crappie have nothing on those hogs!
There are 4 lakes very close to each other. Sardis, Enid, Arkabutls and Grenada. They all have world class crappie fishing. It's been years since I've been up there. @ShakeyGizzard has me thinking about them today though
 
Well, since it was proven that I don't have a job, here's a picture of my breakfast, lol

We have a house by us where they made a ufo crashed into the ground with an alien coming out of it. It’s taped off with police tape and two “men in black” standing around it. Definitely one of the coolest diy Halloween decorations ive seen
 
I need to do a 50-25% water change.. I've decided that I need to put more effort into my tank and this is how I can start. I still have instant ocean salt.. what are my first steps for mixing? I have an extra power head.. a trash can (Brute) and a heater I got as a free gift.. is that all I need?

I assume you have something to check salinity.
