Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No, unfortuantly not. I have family coming tomorrow so today was a busy day of cleaning, and tomorrow I have to pick them up at the airport. I really wish I could, though.
I wanted to go to the one in Orlando but it's 4 hours away from here, I also missed the Frag Swap in Miami this year, but next year I want to see if I can go to both, it's difficult lol but I'm going to try lol
 
Your welcome, They look great, When the blue lights turn on, put the orange and yellow filters, and the largest one, when you put it on you can't zoom in because it distorts the image but it shows a high level of detail.
My blue lights where on some when I took these. I am really amazed with how much better it is.

Nice, they don't even notice, little by little you practice at different times of the day to see in which spectrum it is best to take the photos, at least that's how I do it, I take different photos at different times and then compare
 
I bought and smoked some Cuban cigars while in the Grand Caymans, kinda a waste on because I’m not a cigar smoker, I’ve always been more of a crack smoker.
 
What's up y'all?

Just woke up from my nap after the overnight flight last night. Trying to get things cleaned up and unpacked.

here thinking if I take my clownfish out of the tank or not, the only fish that bothered the purple firefish (he didn't make it) on the other hand I went to look for the Japanese Toadstool Leather and put it in the place where the Kenya Tree was that I took it to sell because it grew by the day and so someone with a larger tank can take advantage of it
 
Just found out a dear friend of mine has cancer and wants me to take her freshwater fish and 120 gallon tank. She's is going to have to move to Texas to be closer to family. Doctor said if they attack it aggressively she might get 2 more years. I'm so very sad for her and her family and I'm honored that she wants me to have her beloved fish.

So sorry Amanda, cancer sucks!
