Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well, went to the nursery and no vegetable seedlings. Called two others, one still closed for the winter and the other won’t be getting them for another couple weeks. I guess I just got spring fever. Turned the bed over and just picked up top soil and will lay that down and cover with weed guard until I’m ready to plant.
 
Phos meaning phosphate?
URL? Maybe I'm being dense, but I don't get it. :)
ULR - Ultra Low Range. Phosphates under 0.25 should use the ULR.
