Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning Kevin, I have about 16 corals but they are still small, i need to check the dozer for exact numbers but it doze like 2 or 3 ml every 2 days
I know you just or about to switch over. Currently your parameters are solid just test and dose if and when necessary.
 
When I have dipped my zoas in hydrogen peroxide it had taken a few days to open. I have done this multiple times.
I dipped them in Coral Revive.
 
My prayers go to you for all you have to see and deal with on your job; and somehow come home, feel like a human and be with your gal.

I’m glad you have your reef to take care of and enjoy!

Yes, pictures when you get a chance.
Thank you for being a friend, I appreciate all of the cool people here...This R2R forum has become a "tool" for me to decompress and forget the nasty bad world and enjoy this world where we all share a common "tank hobby" and topics that are not adding stress to me....If you understand what I am trying to say..my team and I just turned down a offer to go provide support across the water...oh this coffee is good, I just walked in 1/2 hour ago...
 
Alright ladies and gentlemen! Just a reminder I'll be tied up tomorrow. Golf Tournament!
wow..you can golf whole being tied up??? they must not know how to restraint a person good....or your just got super magic powers like Houdini.
 
@kevgib67 It is 5pm still working. I will have to do an icp at some point to know where I am on trace elements.
You know @Remi , it would be easier for me and the rest of us if you would just get on eastern time. ;)
