What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm still here bud, Cheers! Since us CA folk are so slow according to @That Crusso Kid
Hahah that dang crusso kid! I probably shouldn't still be here. I gotta get up at 6 to drop my son off at school and head to work, but Im up researching lights for my upcoming (hopefully) frag tank build.

What do you have in mind budget wise? They have Presidents sales coming up too.

I did not think about President's Day!

Honestly it's down to a reef breeders meridian 24 or a big AI blade. The AI blade is cheaper and I could add it to the mobius app with the other products I have on there. But what RB is doing with UV intrigues me, and I like how the edge bars can be added as/if needed, very easily.
 
Ya I forgot about it too and ordered a Tunze Osmolator 3 last week only to find out today it's going on sale 😭

That was going to be my recommendation as well. I think you're going to get more light from that then a single big AI blade, and better spread.
I totally agree, and the price difference isn't too, too big.

Can you cancel the order lol?
 
@NanoSteam I finally realized I wasn't watching your build thread. I NEVER get update alerts. I just have to try to remember, and my memory isn't one of my strengths. Great looking tank, my friend.

Lol It's almost here, I'm going to ask them tomorrow if I can get a retro discount with a pretty please and sugar on top lol.

Thank you! I have the same issue, I get alerts maybe half the time and I religiously clear all unread just in case. It's hit or miss. I'll get on your thread as well. I try not to slack off.

I'm not familiar with CPAP machines so what is the alternative or are you kind of stuck staying up all night because that would suck!

Yeah, it was something I have had since a young age. I likely could sleep without it but it is hard to fall asleep without it since I am so used to it. Also even if I sleep I will wake up with a migraine without it anyway so its kind of a lose lose. I also think I am coming down with a cold or the flu too. lol

That sucks, ya there's been something going around, we all got it and it's the longest lingering cough.. it's been 3 weeks and we all still have symptoms. Must be the flu but hopefully yours is just a simple cold.
 
hey C-Kid your a special cool dude... when I am out in FL next time we should hang anf get a few bourbons and a cigar...
Absolutely we can hang out! How often do you make it to Florida?

Hey, thanks for reminding me to watch @NanoSteam 's thread. Now I can hassle him in two places!
 
@Calmwaters - looks like you're awake. Probably getting ready to hit the dusty trail. Good luck on your killing spree!

Did you try unplugging it and plugging it up again sometimes that works with mine.
