Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Super excited to start this journey with you folks!
Had to cut out some of the bottom of the stand to drop the sump a couple inches to allow access to media shelf.

Will still need refug light!

What did I miss while I was working, food pics, music videos, did @Katrina71 get here epoxy and glue, anyone get a tail spot blenny, inquiry minds want to know?
 
I can’t believe you own a restaurant, your the chef, own and operate a shirt and hoodie printing business and still have time to maintain a reef tank!
 
Busy but chilling now and yours?

Not bad for this time of year.
Weather has been the pits.
Closing down and ready to relax.
 
Cleaning out the linen closet and bathroom vanity. Also doing laundry and running my son back and forth to work. About to make dinner. It won't be like @00W

For sure.
I have 5 at home, 3 teenagers and a tiny laundry room. The whole thing sucks but like you said....

Everyone is on a weird different diet at home so they are finally making their own dinner so last night my son and I had burgers with tater tots, night before hot dogs.
Feel like I died and went to heaven. ;)
 
You are asking Mr. Low tech, pretty much running my tank like I did in the mid Nineties and I went to public school. I’m sure someone smart on here can answer that though.
I have a science degree and teach bio and enviro science, and I’m running the reef tank in my classroom like they did in the 80s.
