Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
praying for everyone, I have family in myrtle beach, don't know if they are effected by this, but there was some fires a few weeks ago down there (S.C.)
As far as I know there are no fires that far away.
 
I’m not going to use the “s” word on this family friendly forum especially since Rev has me on double secret probation. But dang, really? It’s not like I live in Maine or Albany NY. Enough already. Um sorry, have a good day Smorgasbord nerds.

The only s word I see here is straight! Which is what your bird feeder pole is :)
 
Guys please pray for Western North Carolina first hurricane Helene tried to drown us and now the wildfires are trying to burn us down. This is a mountain across from where I work that is on fire that started today and there is another 1000 acres on fire and spreading just in my area. There are other fires in nearby counties one of my friends had to evacuate. The smoke is getting worse and worse as the fires grow.
stay safe. hope it doesn't get any worse.
 
Hey everyone!


Just wanted to share something exciting—I’m officially going to be sourcing locally cultivated corals through Capital Corals, grown under the care of a PhD-holding ecologist at a coral restoration facility right here in my area.


I’ll be offering these corals for sale soon exclusively to anyone in this group. We can talk about pricing privately as a part of my business, First Due Aquatic Rescue, LLC. These are healthy, responsibly grown pieces, and I’ll be able to ship or do local pickups depending on location.

If you’ve been thinking about adding something new to your reef or just want to support a fellow hobbyist starting out—I’d really appreciate the support. Even if you’re not in the market right now, feel free to follow along or share!

Happy to answer any questions—thanks for always being such a great community.
