Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I didn't catch anything to day. I hooked something huge but I was wading chest deep water and couldn't get him to shore. Probably a redfish. It's ok, I'll just go watch the scooter blenny hop around.

I hope you all have a great holiday! I will talk to you all next Sunday. Please stay safe!! Happy holidays!!
Merry Christmas and have a great cruise, enjoy the reefs! You really should have brought a chiropractor with you incase you hurt your back. I know one that will go on your next cruise. :winking-face:
 
Porcelain crab. It waves all day filtering the water for food.
Hmmm, my porcelain crab looked nothing like yours, I like yours better. I’ve had few and after 3-4 months the disappear, I gave up, to bad I really like them. Maybe I’ll try again.

Everybody is trading/buying everyone right now.
Super high dollar.
Never seen anything like it.
It sucks.
Long gone are the days of Tony Gwynn, Johnny Bench, Mike Schmidt.
People who played their whole career in one spot.
Kinda sad.
 
Not much this evening Joel! How's the new tank? It looks great.
Thanks John!
Much appreciated.
I'm going back to the way I used to do it with less water changes and messing with it less.
It's dirty but the fish seem happier and it's less of my time.

mines a blue porcelain. I think yours might be a spotted? Was yours mostly white with red spots? I do have a rather large red mythrax in there too and that Pitho.

Ya, but he will be leaving his younger brother behind with the Gaurdians. It was fun having brothers on the same team again.

You would be correct sir! I’ve never seen the blue before.
 
@cdemoss01 , how did your rock scrubbing and water change go yesterday?
Not gonna lie here. I've been sick for two weeks and all of a sudden yesterday and today if I turned my head I'd get really dizzy. Congestion, body aches, coughing uncontrollably, headaches, lightheadedness, feels like I'm going to pass out etc. looks like I might be sick for Christmas.
