Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hmmm... orange filter perhaps? When my whites are at 65% the pictures don't come out blue... 🧐🤷‍♂️
It's the portion of his light schedule before the peak. He's ramping up to that percentage of white .
 
While I am occasionally put in a "home", of sorts, it is not a retirement home. Plus, you're in luck as I always find a way out and over the tall fence.
Reminds of "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest"

Fine Rock thanks for asking.
I change 15 gallons a week, lost my middle kessil so going with 2 and I like it better.
Aiptasia is taking over again so I'll figure that out later I guess...
I'm glad it is coming along Joel
Sorry to hear about your Kessil. I'll have two a360x for sale pretty soon. My new tank is almost ready for water!
 
Yep going strong 💪
Stuff is hard to kill fully.
This time, when it looks like it's all gone I'm going to replace all my plumbing, just one return line and remove my overflow box and bleach it.
Pretty sure the overflow was full too.
I agree, they will grow anywhere... even in dark places
 
I can see you doing that! You and your son at Burger King... he places the BK crown on your head... you raise your fries with both hands... like on the Lion King when they held up Simba.

No worries 👍
I like low lighting and 3 was overkill for me...
 
Have you ever seen those YT videos of Hawaiian locals spear fishing Achilies Tangs to cook and eat?
I have, and for some reason I find it disturbing, you can catch and eat them but you can’t harvest them for the reefing hobby. Here’s some fish my youngest son caught in a far away place called Florida.

That's crazy. Last night, I dreamed that I added a kessil to my tank for acros lol

Haha sounds like you know how Big John and Little John do our thing, Rock!

To some they're more valuable as nutrition than a pet. That's why they were put here in the first place Kev! We're the one that put em in glass boxes!

Those look delicious!

It's just odd when you've spent so much time in the hobby to find out many years later it's a food source for some 😅
