Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Id make any claims and send pictures to the vendor for sure, but might add some of the ones with any flesh at all to the tank just to see. Is this your battlebox?
I don't know much about SPS, if there's any with flesh left on it would it be beneficial to chop off the dead skeleton? Is it something that can spread?

If there's a decent amount of flesh and the frag can be stabilized, there is a chance that it can regrow. Im sorry brother. Did any of them make it.
 
Looks like they are shipping me a box today!
I don't care about the coffee, but I am always excited to see the postcards and what Alycia gets!

I like them as well and reading about all the places is fun.
 
Might wanna change that appointment...
Just duct tape some snow shoes to the tires, or go full crazy and put treads on where your tires go.

They're saying 0.5 - 1 inch of snow for us, but I'll believe it when I see it...

Temp is down to 55 deg here, you can keep the snow if it comes

Yes, give it a chop, a quick dip and place it in your tank. That's what I would do anyways.

You know, I applied to be a postcard and greeting card copywriter at about everyplace I could think of, at the time. I provided exmples of some of my thoughts and ideas. I do not know why but nearly all of them thanked me and requested I never contact them again.
 
Good morning everyone and Happy Monday! Stay safe out there, sounds like there's some bad conditions. On the other hand we're in a heat wave of sorts here.

It's crazy for sure! Someone said they are saying maybe 3 inches of snow for us this evening but I don't know how reliable that info is.
It’s in upper 70’s here, sunny with a light breeze, just enough to make the palm trees leafs to gently sway, just like the other 364 days here. Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers), I never woke up this morning and I’m still dreaming!
 
If acros are white and the bag of water smells and is cloudy I assume it means it’s not going to make it right. Not worth adding it to the tank and risk it getting releasing nutrients.
Good morning Thomas, sorry about the coral!
