Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Tomorrow I'm going to calibrate my refractometer to check the tank water and I'm going to go to the LFS to check the result, but yes, the truth is I'm nervous lol
Don't be nervous! You got this!

Easy peasy!
 
Yep! I have that exact one, and like Amanda said, it works great!
Yeah same one I have too but I've never used mine :rolleyes:
I still use my hydrometer :oops::upside-down-face:
 
When I used red Sea I mixed in 5 gallon buckets, 3 cups of salt and I was @1.026 or thereabouts.
Just don't over mix it it will precipitate.
Maybe an hour or two.
That's the joy of that salt mix and go. ;)
I could mix IO for a year and nothing will happen.

Dude, old school here too, 19 years of reefing and I use a hydrometer. Oh the shame!

Yeah I opened the box and looked at it but by the time I read all of the instructions my hydrometer was already perfect. ;)
 
So tonight I'm having a heavily peppered grass fed burger patty with bacon and Tillamook cheese and 2 hot dogs.
And a pellegrino.
This diet is very strange but it's working.
I made my wife homemade whipped cream and she's having berries in it.
That's a nice dinner ;)
 
Walker how's that anemone doing?
It's doing good. Its still in the back of the tank, but everyday is has been open and colorful. I got a semi-good picture when I was taking pictures of my corals.

Actually you know what never mind its not "semi-good" at all. Its horrible.
 
Baseball weekend in Lewiston, Idaho. Every year we host the NAIA world series and teams travel from all over to compete. This year the local team was blown out early. First time in 26 years. The Warriors from LCSC have 19 world series titles in the NAIA. Some guys make it to the pros from our little group of towns.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Yeah, I am still at work...
