Additional Aquarium Information

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

Luis, I have a question for you. I have a relatively new furnace, it went out over the weekend. I turned it off and back on again and it kicked on. It was in the 20’s last night and knew right away after getting out of bed it was off again. Is there something stupid I’m missing or is this something that requires service? If you need paid before answering, let me know and I’ll have one of my kids Venmo you, thanks. I assume you don’t have much of these furnace issues where you live.
Ok I was searching on Google but Tim confirmed it to me, I have no experience with those equipment Kev but there are a series of steps that are quite basic for all types of equipment that can be done before calling a technician.
1- check the thermostat for low batteries
2- Take out the filter to see if it is clogged, this can cause overheating and the equipment to turn off after a while working
3-I don't know if those furnaces have a blower, but I imagine they do. You'll have to see if it stops working after a few hours.
4- from what I could read there quickly a contaminated flame sensor can cause a gas leak or a furnace that cycles on and off too frequently.

Thanks Luis, check is in the mail!
 
I haven't been summoned in several years. I even called and asked for consideration and they said no.

Do you like it that much lol?
 
Well all, thanks for the help. It’s a bad flame sensor, the furnace kicks on for a few seconds and shuts off and repeats. The flame sensor isn’t recognizing the furnace is lit and then shuts the gas valve. I tried cleaning it twice, no beuno. I’m heading to work, my wife is picking one up and I’ll install it tonight.
 
Same here. They actually shut us down a couple of years ago because it was so widespread.
It's a constant concern for us but so far we have been lucky.
 
First time hahaha, I have this green hard coral for a while and with the new light is been growing fast, For $25 it's worth a try, I wouldn't want it to die but I think I'm a little bit ready for it, just the time will tell

Yessir! I have no doubt that it will do well. Look at the rest of your tank. You have the best colors in your tank my friend
 
I thought you all would think this is cool...

This is a megladon tooth compared to a shark tooth I found in Florida. The sharpie is there to give you an idea of how insanely big the megladon tooth is!

Very cool! I've got a Meg tooth about that size. Wild to think about something that big. Never found a Meg but my wife is a magician at finding shatk teeth. She finds dozens every time we go to the beach. We literally have thousands of them.
 
I usually don’t do this but this next group in the band are made up of artists from different bands. You got this Joel.
