Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ok, not that long then, you should start to see a slow down very soon. Die-off at about 8-9 days, my outbreak wasn’t as bad as yours so I saw results sooner then average
 
So you have a hose just floating in tank along with your power heads ? Also, I don’t have a hole in my lid
Thanks for the suggestion Katrina. I was hoping for something not actually running in my tank 24/7 and that would take away from aesthetics. Not to mention no hole in my lid.

Nobody else uses a backup that isn’t a generator or car battery? I’m not interested in anything DIY.

You can certainly go with a commercial backup.
 
Guys I'm freezing... I think the AC here is stuck in the on position and it's 64 in my office. Luckily my little heater in my small tank here is working great and keeping my little fin friends at a toasty 76...
 
I think about you Joel, one LFS receive a french angelfish. I don't know what happened the last 3 days LFS received some many shipments fish and coral, make me regrets my tank size.
Thanks Remi.
My all time favorite but gets ginormous.
It's really like having a person they are so personable and cool.
