Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I don’t think fish will eat it. I was concerned with crabs picking at it but so far nothing bothers it. I only have the one hydra32 over it still. I’m trying to figure out how to hang the Orphek from a RMS still. It really only requires medium light and low flow. Where I placed it it doesn’t get the full mp40. I’d give it a try. The glow on it under the light is crazy. It’s so much brighter than those pics I posted.
My dad has one and he has his tank with 4 ai prime 16
 
Sorry guys I guess I'm me tired than I realized. I was sitting in my recliner covered up with a soft blanket and three dogs, I closed my eyes for just a second and the next thing I remembered was my husband getting home from church a few minutes ago and waking me up telling me to go to bed. Hugs to you all and good night.

Good night peanut, sleep tight!
 
So besides my crazy work day, my wife and I have been entering a lottery for a boat slip for longer than we can remember.
We entered late, no information on the boat, no insurance. Nothing.
But entered anyway.
Well today at 4 pm was when they were going to email just those who won a slip.
Well...
We got an email!
We finally got our own slip
No more launching every week, boat is already in the water!
Can't believe it.
I never win anything...
 
That's fine Kevin. Amanda and I will go to the Bahamas where we will form a hippie psychedelic reggae band. Dangit, she probably won't go now. :(
I'll go John!
That's sounds like my vibe there...

I would definitely describe it as a glow. You can tell that even though the photos are amazing, they don't do it full justice. If I had any room at all on my sandbed, id have one.
 
I'm not saying this because of that lol, I'm saying it because Wes is another Smorg who is participating ( I don't know if he's participating this month ) and you two deserve that title.
Lol Wes should be mariner of the month, for even having time to reef! I only have two kids and can barely remember where I put my keys

Luis, I forgot about your dad's. That thing is gorgeous. That was the first one I remember seeing. Does it move much?

Joel that is fantastic! To me, some of the most fun times on your body, are down at the dock. I can pictures you down at the dock with a cold drink in your hand with the Wailers, wailing in the background.
