What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good to see you Bob! Sounds like you're staying positive in it all. That's what it's all about brother
No point getting upset. Went last Friday and bought a used stackable washer and dryer and found a microwave on clearance for $30. Saturday the new breaker box got installed and Sunday I had the new appliances running. Besides my life's motto is "Nobody Cares, Work Harder."
 
Happy reefing everyone. Been crazy around here. Washer, dryer and microwave all died att the same time. Tank is doing well, got one of my certifications done and working on a different one. Currently our power is ourlt and I'm getting ready to go buy a largwler generator. The tank is running on old reliable though so no worries there. Hope everyone is doing well!
Hello Bob, that must be from such high winds we are having.
 
Pretty good, my digitata is super weird but other than that the tank is looking good! I need to clean the glass tomorrow.

I also need to go to my grandmas and evict a yellow jacket nest....could end bad for me ha
What's up with the digi?
 
What's up with the digi?
random polyps are closed, the top is open, then some of the bottom is open, and it seems like it "shed" this week but I dont think they shed.
 
Razor fish not a good fit for my tank from what I'm reading they need a setup similar to sea horses.
sooooo you don't like horses? 🤭
start a horse tank, pipe and shrimp fish!

My husband might divorce me if I setup another tank... lol I love sea horses but they are delicate from what I have read.

I vote if you can keep coral going, you can probably do ponies!
