Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
And you don't see him anywhere in the floor? Have you checked the overflow/sump?
I have checked the two days on the floor and I don't know if the dog has eaten it lol but don't see it, in the overflow there is no way because it has a cap and also the lid

I got my dinkins order I love that they always send a hand written note and stickers! I got two small bottles of snacklebox and two small of the phytoplankton for the pico and one of the big ones of the snacklebox for the 125.

Do you think I should add both the small snackleboxes tonight or should I add one tonight and one tomorrow? Or should I just add one to the pico and the other two to the 125?
 
Glad to hear because melanoma is a real thing Dermatologist down there are driving around in Miami Vice vehicles while dermatologist in northeastern Ohio are living near the poverty level because we only get a few days of sun a year. :winking-face:
you don't get tan from your reef lighting?

I would typically add the pods tonight and preferably after lights out. If you go to bed before lights out turn the lights off and 15 minutes later add the pods , wait 15 minutes and turn the lights on. I typically dose the phyto 3 times a week.

I well do this as well the lights on the pico are out already and I turned the 125 off.

I do the same as Kevin but I also turn off all the powerheads and return pump.
 
well bad news. "click". off. but this time it was just the power hub. so out goes the hub. and will try a regular power strip in the GFCI.
Its all just process of elimination
