Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ill definitely have to make that one again. I even surprised myself a little haha
You can post up the recipe. I haven't caught up on the posts, so it may have already been posted.
 
My view all day today, I had to clean 3 air conditioners in this house and it took me more than 7 hours lol, between looking at the tank and talking to the owner

Sounds like a great day Amigo!
 
Question, I have ordered some of the stuff for my AIO filter build, but cant decide on felt sock or mesh sock, Which sock does anyone recommend. On a side note I was leaning towards the felt.
If I bother with any mechanical filtration besides live rock, it's just a small chunk of old school polyfill. Im still using the same bag of it that I bought when I started reefing lol

This is the way... cup of some sort and stuffed with poly fil, replaced once a week for me, easier than socks and don't have to mess with one more piece of tech that takes up so much room (rollers).

Good morning Jimmy. Felt will collect more waste than mesh. I'd go with felt.
 
I prefer filter rollers over socks nowadays. If you still want to do socks? Look into reef diapers. Highly reccomend those for socks
Good morning Bailey! I think Tim runs, or did, reef diapers.
 
Yes. Click the hashtag and you have an option to "Watch"
Good morning Tim <tips hat> What flavor are you sipping today sir?
 
Morning y'all!
Happy Friday 😊
Peace ✌️
