Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I think that work is finished for today lol
I changed the oil on both cars
I had to go see a cooler for my work
I changed the water in the tank
replanted a plant for my wife
clean up the patio
now I'm going to go get in the pool with my son and have a beer I think
How was Saturday for you my friends?
Luis, that was a good amount of chores! Glad you got to go in pool with your son
 
I shoot for phosphate at .05-.1 and would rather have it a little higher than a little lower. If your corals look happy I wouldn’t mess with it.
Agreed!
 
If you decide to sell, let me know, get a quote for shipping and transportation and let me know.

So tonight was a peppered burger patty covered in beef bacon and extra sharp Tillamook cheddar.
On the side some chicken green chili jabanero sausage.
Oh and pellegrino, of course. ;)
That sausage sounds delicious
 
Clone finally turned the corner last night and had a full night sleep. Previous night was up every hour or two.

Anyway, my Dinkins order was supposed to arrive Wedn, so Wedn night in the office, but UPS delivered it on Friday. Surprisingly, most everything survived. Had to add the pods/berghia at night or they'd be toast with all the wrasses and the blenny that thinks it's a wrasse.
Ahhh, ok. You are no longer grounded!
 
Ordered my 20 gal peninsula nano tank from Innovative Marine yesterday thinking it would take at least a week or more to get here…

Arrived today!

Now hoping it will go on sale in next 30 days as they will refund me!

Also, the whole reason I got it was to get those nems out of main DT, specifically the BTA’s who have been getting rdy to split for the last two weeks.

Come home from trip, wake up in morning and one of the Nexus Joker’s split! And other one looks suspicious! Everything is backwards - lol.

Dylan has a used stand at his house - gonna get it tomorrow and refinish it. Depending on wood, either sand and just put marine clear varnish or paint it a metallic bronze with rustoleum paint.

And the Helfrichi firefish pair are rdy to take home tomorrow- excited to see them.

Trying to get all of this taken care of before corals from trip arrive. WWC gave me some freebies and I might have purchased two corals from them…
