Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I ordered kent magnesium for my aquarium almost two weeks ago from Amazon and never received it. This morning I got a notification that the seller canceled the order. Since the only Kent Magnesium I could find on Amazon was from that same seller I went with this brand and these two products. They will be here Thursday.

I only use ME Coral products Amanda.
They sell them at premium aquatics, they're reasonable and high quality.
Look it up and give it a try!
 
I just hate it because I have only been there a month and I don't want them to think I'm a slacker.
They'll know better Amanda you're no slaker. You'll be better right quick I know it! :)
 
Good morning Smorg's, hope y'all get better quickly... :)
Stay out of here Frank, I think it’s contagious! At least wear a mask when on this thread. I have a mask and latex gloves on.

I believe i am invincible , from the shoulders down...:zany-face:;)
 
Omg ( that’s oh my god for you older reefers) , @Remi your thumb and eyes must be sore from all the reading and liking! That had to have taken an hour.
 
I believe i am invincible , from the shoulders down...:zany-face:;)
I just ordered this from Amazon for when I’m on this thread.

That CoralAmino only takes a little at a time. In my old 75 I was only using 5-10 drops every couple of days.

Thank you! I will remember that.
 
I forgot about them, I haven’t watched them play since I started watching the Guardians play. Are they having a good season Joel?
 
You should see all of my Indian apparel! A lot of Chief Wahoos. I can’t bring myself to buy Guardian apparel. I proposed that if they had to change the name call them the Cleveland Tribe, we called them the Tribe anyway. Tribe isn’t exclusive to native Americans. There were the tribes of Israel, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and South America. I tried hard but had to stop after Tito, the Indian’s manager got a restraining order slapped on me :angry-face: .
 
Oh man that looks delicious especially since I have only had boring bland food since day before yesterday.
I’m sorry Amanda, I don’t know why Frank does that to you.
