Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Historical fact that the apostle Paul brought green bean casserole to every supper not just the last. Rumor has it that the other apostles nicknamed him green bean casserole.
Thats right above Kevin's house lol

Jeez Joel how do you make any money? For example the strawberry french toast combo, the 2 eggs alone costs you $16! Man that is a killer Easter menu.
 
Amazon fails to deliver :crying-face: 😡😡, It's a pain when you pay for fast delivery and then it's not delivered, sill have time but i don't think so
I’ve seen with mine that delivery is between 5:00 and 10:00 pm. Fingers crossed Luis!
 
There's nothing to do but wait, but there are already some bad looking corals, GSP on the back wall completely closed, the lobo looks bad, candy canes looking bad, the torches and the octospawn look good for now.

My water is pretty cloudy. I'm assuming it's a bacterial bloom. Also, I can't remember if I said this before, but my only casualty was my acropora. It was just a test piece, but it still is disappointing.
Sorry to hear Walker, just out of curiosity, why are you thinking of a bacterial bloom?
 
@kevgib67
I also scrape algae with this, but for stuff that's truly hard, the kitchen scraper is better.
That is more effective for the hard to reach stuff that's really hardened and won't come off. That's the best scraper for that. The flipper is the best magnet scraper in my opinion, but I haven't tried tunze.
 
Camden:
I'll send you the Fluval 304 then you can use the tidal for a fuge.
You can use egg crate, cut it and make 3 sections in the tidal.
That's what I did with mine.
Let me know!
No it's all good lol. I appreciate it but I think I'll be able to buy one myself. I've got a good bit of money due to a trip to Japan this summer. Don't worry about it!

I thought the prices were extremely fair too.
 
I agree. I want to take my family on a trip just to eat there 😊
I’ve seen his whole menu and wow! I could eat something every day and be a very happy camper!
 
John I’m wondering if you know the next one or if it was just regional. I think of undergrad every time I hear it.
