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

Good morning peeps! I see there was less alerts and as Joel predicted, he must have passed out early. Enjoy your Sunday. I think I’m going to take my mother for a late breakfast or early lunch since my wife is working.

A reflection here
I don't know much but I always try to help, If Someone goes to the unanswered threads they know what I talking about, lately people ask very complicated questions, I don't know if I explain myself but there are questions there that I think are unnecessary, maybe that's why they don't give them an answer?
Yes I go there quite frequently but I rarely know any of the answers either Luis.
Most of them are about complicated equipment I'll never have or stuff I've never heard of.
I'm with you here.
 
I have pictures of my 1 year old gorging himself in butter but was too busy keeping him from dumping beverages to take pictures most of the time :face-with-tears-of-joy:
Yeah those are the pictures we really want. :smiling-face: ;)

Yep ate early, sat in my chair about 7:30, woke up at 12 with all the lights on wondering where I was....

Something similar happened to me but I woke up today at 7:58 lol
 
Let’s address this first, pretty much symbolic of my life. Tim and Joel, anyone of these jump out as being the suspect?

Nothing looks super gross... Likely the first carbon block?

Most likely sediment filter is clogged or as Tim said carbon block is probably rock solid.
Either or is usually the problem for mine.
 
Yeah, looking again it's probably either the first or third prefilter. Those are the "dirtiest" looking.
