Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You would think with all the people that they have seen that they would have better idea as to what’s wrong or what caused it .
Morning reefers!

There is a reason they call it a "Practice".

On a lighter note my urchin is a little shy today. It has covered itself with pieces of coralline off the back wall and a few shells.

Seems like they have been practicing too long . You’d think at some time they would get it .

Hey X-37B !
 
Thanks Tom, I was in high school back in the 40’s and went to a lot of concerts back then. That was great music.
Still the same ole Kevin. Thank goodness
 
So I’ve done a few doodles for specific people . There will be more.
@That Crusso Kid this is for you. Think “that cruisin kid”

@kingranch2003 this is yours since it riffs off of your user name “the king of the ranch”

And @Üter a peaceful fishing in Maine scene with a terribly drawn moose

Thank you Steve! As soon as I saw Kevin and Chris' doodles, I said to myself, "I want one"!!!
Then there it was! Idk why I enjoy these so much, but I definitely do.
 
That looks pretty okay Rock 😊 Seriously, the tank looks awesome!

I'm quite jealous of the Orcas although I have no idea how they could even be mounted to my tank.

Do you still like the 14K Meridians? I think I remember you thinking about switching back to MH.
I love the Orcas. I have them set to different flow in certain zones. Example, on the right hand column are my SPS. The Orca on that side ramps up to 50% in a sector that blasts the SPS, then ramps down as it moves past so as to not destroy euphyllia and softies on the back side.
As far as the Meridian. I like it but feel it lacks a lot of spectrum. I will probably go to halides with two Quanta Helix Meso blues bars. The spectrum on the Meso blues is SO good in the UV through Cyan range, much better than ReefBreeders.

Morning Sven!
 
Looking better, should have saved some bacon from this morning!

Looks good Kevin.
I hope you are feeling better. I’ve tried reading to keep up to date but haven’t felt like posting.
I’m dealing with a prolonged episode of depression and I’m having a hard time shaking it. My motivation is in the dumps.
Anyway, I hope you have a great day!
 
Rachel from East Pacific aquaculture just called to see how my order came in and how my I liked my acan. I thought that was pretty cool, I haven’t had a vendor do that.
