Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well not great lol. We got cooked. I didn’t know we were going to play the top 3 teams in the state! The season hasn’t started yet so this doesn’t count really but we lost all 5 games. The first 2 were jv almost one the first and the last 3 were varsity. I played so much lax today it’s insane. 5 games. Also lots of our varsity players are injured which didn’t help. My legs and feet are cooked. It was lots of fun tho.

And then after I went to a Journey concert!
Wow Parker full day!
 
Wadda ya' mean was just a bulkhead thingamajigger ?... :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
you know thats the official webster scientific name for that part. It also states that in most causes when you use this male part it is suppose to fit into the the female union part called . So the bulkhead thingamjigger fits into the whachamacallit. lol
 
here is a picture of the 300's sump, made it from my old 140.
A few things have changed since this picture..main sump is 72x20x22 and the ozone reactor to the left is in its own acrylic box.

Wow, now that’s a real sump! And may I say, a member of the meticulous club!
 
ah sunday coffee..Tanks lights will be on soon. Check on and find homes for the rasta zoa's, pink tipped neon green frogspawn and the anacropora (they think it name is electric lemonade)....
Love love my Rasta zoas and its buddy, the Bob Marley’s! Both lil frags in my tank now
 
Looks like a WWC Slimeball Anacropora.
hmm thanks I will look it up. They were sayin neon green lemonade then electric lemonade... At least they got the anacropora right...and they gave it to me free cause the small piece broke off the main frag....The piece i got is about 1 1/2, looks like they had it layin on its side for a while so may just lay it on a flat rock in my tank...I know it needs lower light and med flow...but still have to do some research..
 
Morning All!

Technically not up yet; but have another busy grandchildren day and wanted to catch up while I could.

@Katrina71 here is the PoloReefer meditative video I mentioned.

And from a purely reefers perspective, the types/quality/rarity of fish he has all in one display is something to behold, my jaw actually dropped and I teared ip watching it the first time.

Highly recommend you watch on your TV vs phone when you have a chance. Perfect Sunday backdrop in the house - muted, with or without your own music playing.
