Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

It is evil for sure! I have brushed up against and felt the horrible sting but luckily was not allergic to it.
Yeah, no fun. I am allergic to alot of skin irritants and bites, luckily no food allergies yet. Any time I get a mosquito bite it swells up to about the size of a goofball...
 
Maybe I can rig it up some way where I don't have to put my entire arm in the tank to reach the bottom...

So strange but after my transplant in 2018 I have not had a Mosquito bite. I think it one of the gazillion meds I’m on that for some reason is a turn off to mosquitoes. I put my medsin a bowl in the morning and night and poor milk over it and it’s breakfast and dinner. Very filling.
 
Mostly green with purple stalks and mouths

Purple stalks, whitish-green lashes, with yellow/orange mouths.

Like I said, horrible pictures. I run heavy blues and my phone camera washes everything out.

Yeah, mosquitos love me. The last time I talked with one he said he came all the way from Florida... just for me. I get ones from all over the country, my "smell" apparently smells very appetizing to them... enough to travel thousand of miles... lol.

You just want him to get the mosquito bites for you... That's messed up.
