Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Are there any snails that do breed in our tanks that are actually worth having? I'd love a self sustaining cuc :thinking-face:
Trochus, I have a lot of baby trochus in the sump, some already made it to the tank
 
Trochus snails, they spawn instead of laying eggs. A constant supply once they start spawning!
I will have to order a bunch of them then! Thanks Kevin!
 
you all might remember that I have a delayed package that I was waiting on, well it started its journey 378 miles from my location in Slidell, LA. The following is its path to my house so far (not here yet) , Houston TX, Pittsburgh PA, Warrendale PA, Akron OH, Gastonia NC. This probably has a lot to do with the reason the USPS is going broke.

Hmm never seen you around these parts..
And USPS is terrible I agree.
 
Not fluffy like they use to be Mike, but they hasn't gotten worse either
Im glad they didnt die buddy! Im sure they just need a lottle time to readjust and stabilize. The fact that they held on means your doing something right! A lot of my corals just seem to be stalling currently. Nothings growing really. I just replaced my egg crate for screen tops a day or 2 ago, seems like a lot more lights getting in. To the naked eye at least

USPS hasn't delivered any packages to my house for 2 monthes... if it won't fit in a mailbox they say they can't access my driveway. Meanwhile there's toyota camrys driving up my road on the daily. The drivers a princess and won't drive if there's even a puddle on our dirt road. Absolutely terrible service

Mike, make one of these lids for only $30 on Amazon, It doesn't bother the tank at all with the light and it's super safe

All good man. How are Kamoers? I think I'm going to grab either one of those or a chichihiros.
