Additional Aquarium Information

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


Here's a video of my hammer corals flow. The first few seconds there really isn't much flow, but it picks up after that.

Walker your flow looks right on to me. The next time @VintageReefer comes through here, I bet he'll have some advice as well. He has some massive hammer colonies.
 
FINALLY CAUGHT UP. What a day! Panel swap at the stinky lobster processing facility so my 8hr day turned into an 11hr day then... snow removal. Got another 5-7 coming thursday.. and I'm driving 2 hours south in the morning to be on site for 7...
Whoah!! Be careful out there man.
We need you!

If i get too exhausted I'll have the helper drive ;) :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
 
Good night Smorg, peep, nerds! To your relief I’m heading to bed early, crazy day.
Im right behind you Kev, night buddy. And good night smorg!
 
Just throw them in. Survival of the fittest lol
Got any suggestions for fast encrusters that would handle moderately high flow and fairly high light? I have a toothless, glass weir that I want to cover so it doesnt just look like dirty glass lol

You may not know this about me but I have a banjo...
Not surprised.

(Music symbols) Banjo Brownnnn, coming to town! Why don't you all, come on down! He's gonna take your reef tank and fill it up with fish! One too many's nothing, get another six! He doesn't use a skimmer, his nutrients have tanked, he doesn't qt livestock, but his Kevin's dank!(music symbols)

Glad today is over with. I hate shut downs.. can't leave till it's dont and I ripped their entire panel out and replaced it.. hopefully I don't get a call that somethings not working tomorrow lol. I test what I could :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
 
For you younger reefers, don’t ever watch this movie! It still gives me nightmares decades later!
Yeah I couldn't agree more!
Creepy and uncomfortable for years after...
My cook wore a shirt the other day that had 2 stick figures rowing in a canoe with a caption hurry I hear banjos and I did have to laugh at that!
