Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It’s goi
@aquamedic305 how's the tank going? How's life going?
I’m staying above water! Ran a bit low on funds but I’m just about ready to fill with water. Finished up the hard plumbing and replied to tbrowns check up about a question I had :)

Hope all is going well at your homefront.
 
You are - you might need to start a aquascape collection, called, “Degas in the Reef”
Just turn your heater up to 120 and it will happen naturally. Do you think Degas took psychedelics?
 
Hey all! Got a little busy last couple weeks.
Finished hard plumbing the sump and DT. when final fitted the pump got elevated about an inch and is floating. Will this be okay?

Also; this is a **** truck and smells so bad LOL
Yes pump will be fine truck will not. ;)
 
Good morning... :)
@aquamedic305 i would put a piece of aquarium sponge or piece of exercise mat under pump so not floating

Done :) just bought some mini sponges as extra filtration since my sock isn’t reached until later in the stages.

And nice job on the fragging - very meticulous
He is very photogenic, I think he actually poses! I’m contemplating putting a red carpet in there and see how he reacts.

This was going to be my reply. Since the pump is hard plumbed in it likely won't be a problem but the vibration of the pump could cause it to come undone and then you'll lose the return of it comes loose.
 
Anyone have cameras on their tanks so they can watch them during the day while working?
No, I couldn’t get a single tank member to sign a consent form that would legally allow me to spy on them all day. My attorney said that would be the only legal way I could do it.
