Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No it's GHA I have been dealing with. How do I get rid of this one?
This one can be nasty. Pluck what you can, if you catch it quick enough, you may beat it manually. If it takes hold, fluconazole (Flux-RX or Reef Flux, etc.) is the only thing I know of that works. The good news it works very well against Bryopsis.
 
Luis you did all that for your Dad. Way to go man. That's beautiful in more than one way. I miss my Dad. Create as many of these memories as you can.
We did it together, John. He introduced me to the hobby in this country when he told our friend who was giving away the biocube that I was going to keep it, We had a freshwater tank in Cuba that's been in the family for three generations, i have a video of that tank from a couple week ago, His tank wasn't doing very well, and I've been helping him little by little. But today we restructured everything.
 
I will post some pics of the equipment that will be used on this build when I get home. I'm pretty stoked about it!
Im pretty stoked about it! Lol
 
Well someone on here was. It looks like it’s just on the sand, may be easy to simply remove it manually. I had a couple bouts over the past 3 years with it on my rock and I used Reeflux successfully both times.
Thank you

So awesome brother. Who knew that little freshwater tanks setup so many years ago would lead to all this. Great stuff man
 
@WalkerLovesTheOcean I got an orange/golf hammer in my shipment today. How is yours doing? Mine is still closed up, but I can't wait to send you a pic once it opens. I think the hammer is such a beautiful coral, and these color variations make such a scape when arranged together
Mine is doing excellent!

I love how it looks too. I can't wait to see pictures of yours!!!
 
No need to worry about me. If I'm not here, I'll be in as soon as possible. Busy again today so just checking in.
Too bad I'll worry anyways. ;) :smiling-face:
 
Just a little bit Wacky today....

It was as so great commuting home listening to Tom Hamilton calling the Gaurdians game even if they lost to the Giants 11-2. Now in college baseball, Kansas hit 5 consecutive home runs ( never done in the MLB) and I believe scored over 70 runs).
 
Mine is doing excellent!

Beautiful! Looks like my gold hammer, grows like a weed. I just fragged 7 heads and you can’t even tell.
