Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I love it, time flies, my friend. With the stool you were 30 years old and now with that rocking chair you are 84 years old, lol
I can see out the window to make sure there's no kids on my lawn as well! :smirking-face:
 
Alright John let’s get started! If you shoot an electron through a magnetic field and it hits the bullseye but change the magnetic field by 10.4 tesla how far off the bullseye would the electron hit? Just kidding, that is giving me nightmares of physics 2. What is your favorite color? @kingranch2003
I know I'm late but I know what you're doing lol

well there was too much rain for an enjoyable archery session so I cancelled. there was 3" of pooled water in the grass that you have to cross to the range, sideways heavy rain and wind.
and look what I saw driving..

I need a picture of what you bought, don’t even tell me you drove by without buying some fish and chips smothered in malt vinegar!
 
i would say slowly crept up. its been that for awhile. i guess i thought the alk should be around 10. thats what i ahve the doser set at. i can lower it. yeah i think it dropped from 9 ish into the 6s before i figured it out. do you think i can save them?:'(
Yes, I do. If you had a big alk swing, you could be seeing the effects here. 10 is too high. I've had some say mine was too high at 9.2. Find your number and keep it there. I think lowering your salinity to 1.026 will help you all around.

Joel congratulations to you and your wife. :)
It's such a Blessing to find YOUR person and last that long. I hope today and tomorrow are beautiful for you both.
 
After the other comments about feeding white worms, it made me curious if this would work. I put a little homemade kombucha on a plate and dipped/ saturated a piece of bread in it.

That definitely seems to have their attention Wes! Nice.
 
I went downstairs to check on my white worm culture and took a look in my son’s room. 30g moved to the 55g and is all cleaned out. :thinking-face:
