Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It's truly crazy how far you have come in this hobby. I mean I seriously think your tank is one of the best on Reef2Reef. Hows your tank doing right now?
Man, I really appreciate that more than I can even express to you Walker. Everything seems to be going really well. Im mostly out of room on the sand but have a little left to go on the rocks. It seems dialed in and rocking pretty good right now. I surely hope yours is too!
 
You can keep it for a week easily, just check the salinity level before use and top off with fresh RO as needed to bring it back to proper SG after evaporation. Keep it stirring also.

To your heater question: I don't use a heater but my water is usually warm, not cool. I have the opposite problem and need to cool it prior to water changes.
Same here, I just bring in into the A/C until I feel like it's "good to go" lol
 
Even the squirrels look funny up north, lol. we do have fox squirrels here. But most are normal brown color

I thought the same thing lol. We have black squirrels in the MS river Delta, but they're black fox squirrels. They have a white face and are black, other than that everything else is similar to the red fox squirrels
 
My brother from another! Is it pumpkin carving night at your house too Paul?
I gutted 3 of them and let the kids carve. I roasted the seeds. We still have 4 whole pumpkins.
 
Here's the free heater I was given with the skimmer.. it's broken too? You can see two springs on the end there. Is that normal? Do you guys think I can fix it with a 3D printed or glued plastic piece over it? Ignore my hand I have vitilaigo so it looks weird.

Well then im not doing jack o lanterns this year. No way am I going to subject myself to the embarrassment of showing off mine the same night you do.yours. Yours will probably actually walk and look like something out of a Tim Burton movie lol
