Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hard to compete with that guy with those huge sps tanks
Which is ridiculous... They're voting for the tank instead of voting for the person...
 
Ugh, I almost want to work in cumberland again so I can have their breakfast burrito again
I've eaten at the pizza joint across from there (under the previous ownership) and at the deli on the corner but never there. had to do a thing at Greely today.

They have pretty decent food. Seem to make a bunch of baked goods as well

It is, Nothing against the guy, but only has like 120 comments in all R2R

That means that Tim not voting for me is because he doesn't like me as a person not just my tank? :face-with-monocle::face-with-open-mouth::zany-face::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

OR it means you refused to enter so I refused to vote
 
So my numbers seem fairly decent today after a day and a half with no skimmer and haven't dosed microbactor 7 in about a week or so.
Nitrate 7.5 retest 7.4
Phosphate .03
Alk 7.4
Calcium 405

Surprised I went from 1.5 to 7.4 nitrates in a week
Seems normal but good at this point.

It's okay, i know your just not allowed to show favoritism. This just keeps it fair for everyone else!

It is, or should be only about the person and what they do/have done for others and the community.

Mariner of the month, not tank of the month... to be fair, how many people even know the guy? Nothing against him of course, I'm just as new as he is pretty much. It's just feels like by buying a couple nice tanks, and what looks like 10's of thousands in corals, the competition was bought. What do i know though? I voted for someone based on how I felt about the person and their impact to R2R and myself :D
 
there's Bam Bam bakery almost across the street as well. lots of GF stuff.
I didnt try anywhere else while I was there. Mainly because the carpenter said that place was good and they had "banging" (as the kids say) breakfast burritos!
 
Wes is there too ;) how is the tank going?
I think I’m struggling because my pump isn’t strong enough and not enough flow from Wavemaker. Lights are good!

It's supposed to be, like Tim said but..., I'm not even voting for myself this time either, I think Wes or Steve should have won this one, IMHO
