Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Heading to pick up my daughter and then home for the evening. 2 hours of work was fun.
 
I'm already tired of the blue legs hermit crabs, they are eating each other and the snails to change snails, any snail you guys and gals recommend to get all the blue legs hermit crabs out?
 
Today was way worse than yesterday. Can not give much info but we had multiple personal, very serious threats directed towards us and they're still going on. So sorry for not being very active today. I am just trying to realize what is happening and decompress.

OMG, what in the world.
Sending you all the good vibes I have Walker!

So sorry Walker, decompress and we are all here if you need to vent.
 
I'm waiting for the ATO reservoir that I already ordered from BRS, I think I'll order some plumbing that I need there too, I just need to measure well what size I need, one question, is the pipe that lowers the water from the tank to the sump thicker than the one that returns it?
Yes Luis.
Drain line will probably be 1 inch, maybe 1 1/4.
Returns might be 3/4 or 5/8.

I like Trochus, Cerith, and Nerites but I also have a handful of blue legs, white stripe, and red leg hermits with them. Stomatellas are awesome too.

Sorry you're going through this!
 
Thanks guys. The first threat was last night and they still haven't found out who and where they're coming from. I am really hoping that tomorrow they've caught the person(s) that are doing these threats so tomorrow won't be like today
 
nice job luis! so neat!
walker, im so sorry! that has to be so wearing! will be praying for you. maybe youd rather not say, but are you in law enforcement or something? hope it is soon just a memory. i dont understand all the hate....smh...:face-exhaling:

Not in law enforcement. Threats are rare where I am but threats like these that were very specific and personal are unheard of.

hopefully tomorrow's better and it stops.
 
Ok Luis, disregard anything I said about birdsnest care. I came home to find this! The only thing I can think of is my wife used a deep cleaner on the couch next to it and the chemicals got into my tank. I changed out the carbon and an going to do a large water change tomorrow. There is one healthy branch I’m going to frag, if not, thanks to me, my lfs has a lot of frags. Set backs happen, just going to roll with it.
