Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
All I use.
Never had an issue.
I've had some for 5 years or more still chugging through massive coralline.
Ebay, Amazon make sure you buy new ones.
Will do.
 
Never had an Avitar and you can tell how trained I am at hiding my real name on the internet :face-with-hand-over-mouth:. I am going to get ahold of Revtree and change my name to something else hahaha!
I've thought about doing that too. I definitely didn't expect to become something active on this forum, or I would've picked something else lol.
 
Well... I am currently running a Fluval thing.. and a very odd marineland one

Looks like you're running similar flow to me. Mine's a 70 so not too much different than yours except mine's a 3' tank, not a 4'. I also have some flow hungry corals that are happy. If you're looking for something that looks prettier I can understand wanting to upgrade. But if it's working, I usually don't mess with it.

You can change your username. I forget how frequently, but you can.
 
It's oyster season on The Gulf Coast!

Save some oysters for me John! I’m heading down, just went through Akron and should be there in no time.

I regularly try to keep company with both Kevin! My wife got a bicolor blenny yesterday and he's awesome too.

No rush! We're good until about the end of February. The beer is getting warm though.

Nothing wrong with either one.
Jebao uses magnets and adjust flow super easy.

Awesome Tim, I may check and see if SUPER_JOHN is still available!
 
The nest just isn’t there yet but I’ll be fragging this bad boy this weekend, probably three frags. Will that do?
