Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No, I never have, but I'm curious about it, and I had an ICP test laying around, so I'll send that off and see what my levels are. Then ill go from there
Did you look at the film that Steve sent me ? It was more that inspirational .
 
Yeah that definitely gives you that "colony look". That's a great way to save a buck too.
Only if you can get a really good price though. I paid a total of 40 for green guys and 43 for the red ones. Green were gotten at the farmers frag fest in March of ‘24
 
You probably had your iron then . Did you have any of the bad things from tap water and if not are you using it now ?
My rocks tended to be a bit furrier though the FoxFace did a good job. It also got rid of the bubble algae plague I had then. I’m buying RODI off of Bobby. He’s making out on the deal I give him 30 buck for between 15-20 gallons of it.

You can get the RO units for a decent price on Facebook used

Only reason i didn’t get one was living in a shared place. If I have my own space in the future I’d probably get one.

I got you 😉. But he could at least charge you what the stores charge .
 
I have the aquaspin . Just curious , I like the way you’re able to get the readout .
It also doses. Aquaspin all over the place in my opinion. My lfs has it and its off for me. I don't fully dose with it yet only toping off neg dosing.
