Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I gave all I had Kev!
You didn’t have to do that, you are overly generous! Please stop I feel like your decision to help me so generously is taking a roof from over your family’s head and food from their mouths.

Oh no Kev that's my half of my monthly earnings and my family said I can do what I want with it so I gave it to my friend in need.

I'm telling you, he's going to use it to buy more Birdsnest...
 
We need more FTS, I didn't notice you have that many hammer and goni.
Oh? I have a nice beginner selection. Look at my build thread. But yes, I need to do some good FTS. Waiting till my new lights go up. Decided to wait another week so the new fish don’t get scared as the new lights will def be more intense.

AI BLADES- baby!!!
 
What is one thing that you have always wanted to get for your tank but worried you can’t take care of it or it would destroy something, etc?
A lil yellow box fish!

That’s great but I heard your cooking classes are a little pricey. Could you knock off a little $ if I bring you a birdsnest frag? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s worth every penny it’s just, you know, the economy and all.

Dibs on the one the back row, second one in to the right! Double frag!

Nah, you want far left front row attaching to the glass and paddling out like an old Bull Elk antler.

Funny you say that cause that was my first choice
 
I assume these things just keep growing endlessly.
Now that the hawkfish eats as much as my trigger Amy is getting lots of extra food.
She's taking up at least a third of the tank.
Yikes.

A full review would be great! I was not impressed with the s series
I'm curious what you didn't like about the SLW?

Initial thoughts are HOLY BLEEP!!! This thing is way more powerful than my previous wavemaker. I've currently got it set at the minimum and it's still stronger than my CurrentUSA wavemaker was at 100%.
 
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’ve been to Reef-a-Palooza in California three times! Great deals on corals and lots of giveaways

More importantly I got to talk 1:1 with vendors on the products I was interested in, especially Red Sea tank. I always pay for early access so I get a whole hour of no crowds
 
I've only been to CFM Phoenix once. It's a small gathering but they had some great vendors and very reasonable prices.

It died in a week. The one and only jebao I've had to crap out like that.

Is that one just straight line? Zero tilt?

I can sleep tonight!
