Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Morning Joel!
Another proud Aptasia papa I see! Honestly, if there weren't so invasive, they can be quite pretty to see moving in the current. Mojanos as well, they literally glow under blue lights. That would be a great idea for a small cube. Just have aptasia, mojanos, couple other "pests" in there. Try and keep it as 'natural' as if you were looking at a piece of an actual lagoon reef.
Embrace the pest nano! I love it Keith!
 
@tbrown Good call on reaching out. I am now 100% back to where I started with a $100 gift card and not sure what to spend it on :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
Maybe the fish is hiding which is normal, cuc or another fish can't eat a fish in a second without you seeing it
My wife found it, it's making out with a nassarius snail :downcast-face-with-sweat: but liveaquaria did me right and refunded me store credit
 
I picked them up from Walgreens less than 30 minutes after they were dropped off, got in the car and opened the box - both DOA.
You picked your fish up at Walgreens? Is the town sheriff also the mayor/Justice of the peace?
 
That sounds awesome! If you ever need some muscle, let me know!
Oh man, military vet, medical professional, all around good dude? Yessir we got something for you brother.
 
Anyone know anything about it these pumps? Thinking I could get it for my mixing bin/regular maintenance? That said I don't know if it's designed to run overnight, as I like to mix my saltwater Friday night to do tank maintenance Saturday and I feel like this is more of a use it for a task and shut it off kind of pump

Ufff I'm going to go very retro here but in this way I also want to congratulate @00W for that million visits in this thread, Can we say that Joel is our captain planet? that in this thread he has managed to form a family with people so different in many things but at the same time so similar I think in more ( one of my favorites cartoons when I was a kid )

With half that money you can buy a cheaper one and 2 wavemakers to stir the water. I think you don't need such an expensive one just to stir the water.

ATO in my opinion is a device that should be purchased expensive and of good quality although that mostly comes with the price, I love mine

I love my tunze ato, unfortunately my options are incredibly limited lol, I would have bought a gyre if they had one. I'm moderately in the market for one, so if I could get $100 off, I'd be sold lol
