Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Not feeling well so not going to work today but do plan on going to get tested to see if it's covid again since we have been around 3 people that have tested positive.
I hope you are feeling better soon!

Here's to feeling better soon, our friend.
 
Test for covid is negative but they said since I had only had symptoms since yesterday it might be that it's not been long enough for it to show on the test. So I'm resting and hydrating and will retest tomorrow.
 
I don't know much about the price but if it really has everything the description says it won't be cheap
Yeah, I know. I'm just looking around seeing what is available.
 
hmm...depends on condition and what your willing to pay for it...let me look.....Ok looked ...wow thats tank is covered in GSP...Purple Tang has lateral line....hmm new says going for 3 to 5k depends on stand and light sump options...Thats gonna be a pain to tear down with all the gsp, but guess you can do your best to scrape it off and throw it into a container and then give alot away, sell frag etc...Guess you would have to see it in person to examine the seams and glass....me if it was all good 40% of new price...

Yes it definitely would be a lot of work. And I would have to bring up the purple tang asking for it to be discounted or be taken for free.
 
Finally day off.

Two very long weeks for this old man.
Definitely feeling my age.
Maybe go on the boat today :thinking-face:
Maybe do nothing?
Definitely going to play with the fish....
 
Wow tanks got a lot going on, pretty established.
How big is the reefer 450?
And be careful lots of posts on leaking tanks from red sea.
If it's close by relatively maybe go check it out?
I think the DT is 92? I don't l know if sump is included in that number or not. And yes I'd definitely go check it out before committing to buying it.

Why don’t you bring your fish tank on the boat and then do nothing?
