Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yes, that's it, Grumpexia!


I don't care what they say or don't say on them. They're working!
Don't change TOO much though. Every worthy group needs a rouge.
 
Lids ok I think, don't have anything to polish inside the screen retainer groove, so may let it ride. this is for the AIO 20 Gal

That looks better than most of the high dollar lids out there, including mine. Very very well done old buddy. I never doubted you though
 
I think this pump is just to small (that's what she said) was looking at the sicce syncra silent .5 return pump. The one in the the pic is rated for about 115 gal pr hour (had it on hand) any recommendations ?

Disregard the man in the reflection, I had him arrested for loitering around my tank today...lol

The AI axis pumps are extremely nice and orient vertically in the chamber, you can control everything about it, though it's not the cheapest option 😬

John must be busy (@kingranch2003 ) those "maters" doing ok, the Aji peps had all seeds germinate. A couple of the 5 color have broke the ground.

There we go buddy! Man those tomato seedlings look great. 100% success on the ajis so far is awesome. I didnt grow that one, but I was very excited to see you get a hold of that one. Super happy to see this!
 
Ok order made it 3 hours late but I think all is well and I just finished gluing. I'm just a little confused by the "Slime Time Monti Grafted Digitata" it was a bright red and green piece on the site but the whole thing just looks like a dull burgundy color as you can see? Is that how it is when the polyps are closed? (I'm a complete newb at SPS).

Great looking pieces! What are pics 3 and 4?

I dont think it should be burgundy at this point, but sps are weird and you just never know sometimes.
