Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh so way less is the wrong term. I should have used non toxic? :thinking-face: I thought it just brought it down to a point where you'd have to have like 70ppm or something to be lethal. Or something along those lines. I'm just glad i got the name right :grinning-face-with-sweat: I was 50/50 on ammonium
I think the ammonia builds up to a toxic level that, once the pH changes due to water exposure to air, the ammonia becomes toxic due to the high levels.
 
Is this 2 potential schools for him i assume?
We don't really like the school that he have to go to because of the direction of our house and we are looking for options.
Seeing how well Kevin came out of public schools, we're going to put Jason there ;)
 
I'm exhausted haha. Spent all day crawling around in a psych ward attic, and since I got out it's been nonstop prepping for this weekends fishing trip!
I thought I heard you up there! I wasn’t sure because of all the voices in my head!
 
Preparing for an end of the season ice fishing trip! Painted/lined/tied on hooks to 5 new traps, getting my skimmer cleaned, autofeeder refilled, etc etc so that I'm all ready for tomorrow and the wifes not having to try and reach me saying that my tanks doing weird things lol
Man good luck! I've been doing some surf fishing down here. I've always wanted to set up and do some ice fishing. I want to catch some monster muskies. Right now we're in red fish, flounder, and spotted sea trout (speckled trout)

I believe that to be correct as well. I thought, because without the oxygen, the ammonia BECAME ammonium, but i may be wrong

I mean, we could only be so lucky that our children grew up to be like Kevin

Lemme know if you ever come up to Maine i'll bring you out! We have some muskies way up north near Canada, I've never caught one though. That said, we have some monster northern pike and Lake trout. State record for a lake trouts like 31lbs i think, and they fight like crazy

I was the one asking about birdsnest frags!

Lots of friends that stay with you!
What do these voices tell you? “Time to drag the birds nest”?

I have a 40” musky on the wall I got bass fishing. Man it was tough getting it into the boat, no net.
