Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I hope y'all had a great day today!
It's absolutely pouring down rain here.
Joel, you have been quiet today - you need some California sunshine!

I wish there was a way to get some sunny weather to you!
 
I posted this on my Instagram- if any of you want to Like it to help promote my LFS and Dylan who keeps me going by truly maintaining my tank, it would be much appreciated. And thank you again Tim!



Luis, I will be posting your video over the weekend to spread the post out. I’ll post that here too.
 
Ok, I thought I wasn’t doing any form of carbon dosing, but wanted to make sure. My numbers are within a comfortable range so wont change anything.

I am going to start Kalkwasser in the next month or two; especially since I’m adding corals and for the first time a few SPS!

I’m sticking with the WWC and TSA farm’s way - very minimal, very simple. It matches my brain cells - lol.
you should start Kalk before you get coral so that you get the hang of it, make thing stable and then when you get corals youwill know how much to increase if needed..
