Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I started off with the classic Inkbird controller with a BRS Titanium heater. Something went wonky, and I didn’t have time to assess. Plus i should have purchased a second heater for redundancy.

I purchased this from Innovative Marine and I love it. Very small, great magnet, those thing don’t budge and controller is awesome.

They are great. But you know the feeling, something going wrong with new tank and you just go get something else. Ehiem is great as everyone is mentioned

Hi Joel, what is your cooking style, American? In France we have good cookers, but I am picky, you bring me to a Michelin star restaurant I will find nothing for me. I prefer American, Mexican, Italian food except for cheese.
Cheese is what makes food delicious!

They broke many a ruler on me lol...so ok ok I am goona make you pee your pants now...One day I had enough of the ruler situations, during art class I glued her new one to her desk, my side kid well he was eating the glue and gluing stuff to his head and face...in effort to hide........OH I don't remember anything else that day after she found it....
