Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
what you up to today....
Not a lot, my mother comes over on Sundays and I feed her and we’ll watch the big rivalry game, Cleveland vs Pittsburgh. I plan to do a small 4 gallon water change, all I can handle these days. Exciting yes? I’m sure you’re working on the new tank, smoking something and having a bourbon while your girl works on the new business?
 
The shallow one? What size? I might even do a build thread this time. I want it in white. To replace these.

That will look so nice!!
 
Buceplant is very well known and popular for their plants in the freshwater world. I would trust anything they sale Nevada everything I have bought from them has been very good quality. While I have never owned one I don't think I have ever read a bad review on that brand of tanks.
I agree. When I was running freshwater planted tanks, I would get all my CO2 regulators and such from them. Also, they had healthy plants.
 
I didn’t get any pics from last night. We ran out of candy after 1 1/2 hours…40 pounds. After that, we sat out there with the fire pit going and propane heater and let the kids pet the dogs.

we did not get anyone...was pouring rain here...and well we don't buy candy...
 
I wish I could see one in person. They look nice. And the 5' long shallow tank seems perfect for my dining area. Filled with peaceful reef safe critters. And mixed corals.

Now to choose lighting. This tank will have my Chowder in it. AKA crocea clam.

Thanks for letting me know more about these tanks.
I wish you could see one in person as well. I will say I seriously doubt you will be disappointed by the build quality of the tank or the stand. They are very nice.
 
Good morning everyone. Heading back home this morning. I will check in later when we are back home. Hope you all have a great day.
Good Morning Amanda!
 
My cup raised up to everyone on this wet cold day...
Going to work on hydros wires set up for the new tank and then work on the system install for the qt tanks for the exotic fish/corals we brining in to AZ for sale...going to focus on the not normal fish everyone has...around here. Also going to offer specialty order requests...
some of these are crazy expensive...in the thousands each..wow..not sure who is going to want these but I am told they do sell...
Doing research on growing copepods also...to package and sell
