Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
How far is a drive to Knoxville?
Over 6 hours, I’d probably have to dip into my gofundme account for gas unless I could figure out how to make my birdsnest frags into combustible fuel :thinking-face:.
 
Without googling, 350 or higher. Not a good par for my softies and lps.
Wow that’s a lot of light. Are they hard to keep?

With the proper light I’d say moderate. A good thing is the like to be on rock and not sand so you can place them higher in your rock scape and closer to the light source. The sell clam hammocks for placing small ones on the rocks.
 
How many of you have been to reefing expos? Just wondering if there are normally good deals to be had or if prices are pretty much the same as what you can get online or in a store.
I was banned from all of them without ever going in, sorry, once again no help from me.

I just have to say Kevin you have a great sense of humor and make me laugh a lot.

That’s odd, my wife and daughter don’t think I’m funny at all. I can get a chuckle out of my boys though. Here I was thinking it was a universal women thing like something on a males Y chromosome that is lacking in women .

Immaturity?
 
Most women are lacking immaturity. Some, however, have done their best to adapt and overcome and have self taught immaturity.

I feel I am mature but also love to laugh so find things funny that more serious people might not...

Have never been.
Always wanted to.
 
Yes, I’ve thought it through but my tank being mixed with a couple sps with less par demand I could keep the clam and bleach out all the rest. Good news my gofundme account for a much larger tank where I could have much more variable light intensity hit $.36 last month!
I gave all I had Kev!
