Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I love me some John Denver, I like to listen to him while I’m driving on some country roads heading to West Virginia to see my mountain momma!
Is this before or after your rocky mountain high.?
 
Is this before or after your rocky mountain high.?
Idk ( that is I don’t know for you older reefers) I’ m usually tanked on moonshine but I always have my convertible top down so the sunshine can hit my shoulders.
 
One step closer to getting up and running.

- BRS 4 stage RODI value Plus edition - paid $250.00 “NEW USED” was still in shrink wrap.


Will be adding plumbing and circulation pump to move RODI into salt bin.

Will be building a 4x2 stand so the brutes will sit on top at an elevation

I know I’ll have to adjust my RODI once I move the brutes up. Wanted to do a trial on the system to determine if I need a booster, SHOCKER ; I DO

Simple fix, as you can see this was my old bathroom that recently got demolished. I was going to refinish my basement but basement flooded and stopped that project.


I’ll clean this up a bit and post it once it’s operational.


Group question: HOW DO YOU MAKE AND STORE YOUR WATER?

Besides manual removal and your cuc you can dose 2 ml of hydrogen peroxide per gallon directly into your tank. Make sure it is 3%. Seemed to make a difference for me. Remember gha is just a normal stage of your tank maturing.
Well, my corals are not happy with me- dosed the peroxide 3hours ago and everything closed up; except the hammers oddly enough.
