Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I know that most of y'all think that upgrading is a bad idea due to past experiences with nutrients exports. However now that I can restart cleanly I will know what I'm doing when it comes to the cycle . This upgrade won't be happening for awhile because I need to find the PERFECT deal.

Also I might as well say it's just as expensive for me to put in a sump in my 65 than it is to get a newer bigger and better setup for even cheaper. For example the 90 gallon was cheaper then my sump addition... And it had lights and a sump. Insane.

I will take this slow considering I only am 16, I'm getting a job this summer and attempting starting a business with a friend.
Forgot to add I still want the white tail. And my wrasse needs more room!
 
Oh wow! Are those hard to keep?
I need to take care of some tank stuff before I can start on corals again. had some persistent bubble algae come in on something and no cuc would touch it. so I'm on hiatus from new inhabitants till I Razor the tank. hoping next week. I'll take a photo of the same thing like every 12 hours and see how well this does. I can't really scrub these rocks. I also have a lot of BTA's.
 
Oh and good afternoon everybody hoping everyone is well.
Good afternoon Camden! Just think twice if you and your friend start cooking and selling meth. Look how it ended for Walt!

Well this went from 0-60 pretty quickly!

Well be doing junk removal, if it falls through I'll be mowing people's lawns. Pricing pending.

On top of this I got recruited to an esports team. I have a tournament this weekend, hopefully I can earn some money with them as they offered weekly paychecks.
 
How hard is it to get Acropora to live? Crazy me bought one on a SBB auction because I really liked it. I won it and a few mushrooms for $25 and $26 each...
Good news is it's a Bubblegum Digitata. Not an Acro. Those are fairly easy.
 
Happy Birthday Joel @00W ! Sorry guys, still at my conference and not time to catch up on the 10 pages.
 
Hello my good friend. Hope you're doing well.
Hey Walker! How have you been?

Prepare Season 7 GIF by Game of Thrones
Better than ever! I've been super busy recently as always,.but this week we made a trip down to Florida. Leaving tomorrow (😢) though it's probably a good thing because I am covered in rashes from sun poisoning and if I stay I will find a way to get back out in the sun. You know, now that I think about it I'm going to go get into the pool because it's hot and sunny!
 
While working with uncommon sense I found a 400$ 90 gallon reef ready tank.
It includes: a full sump (it's pumps and skimmer), hob overflow, two Hydras and some rock.
That's less expensive then adding a sump for my current tank... Should I upgrade?
Not until you resolve the floor issue. If you are having floor movement issues with a 65 gallon with HOB going bigger is just asking for disaster. I'd say yes to the upgrade if you knew what your stability problem is and had a clear method to resolve it. Your dad will not be happy if you put a hole in the floor and dump 90+ gallons of water on and under the floor.
