Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I would've definitely called you out Keith. Dont miss an opportunity like that in the future lol
Point taken sir and I will work on that. Just for you brother!
 
Ozone literally kills everything. We use it in drinking water treatment but it can be extremely dangerous. It is also very unstable and converts to air rather quickly so you have to generate it onsite. Like you mentioned, it's dangerous to breathe.
a lot of places I have worked use ozone to treat their water in large vessels. a lot of bottled water companies do this and bottle quickly and the ozone depletes while in the plastic bottle. if you drank it too soon you'd sure know. You can even smell it sometimes when you first open the bottle.
 
so I noticed this morning my sump looked a little low. for what ever reason my ATO didn't kick on. I took it out, cleaned and put back. re-adjusted. I checked and my salinity was 1.027. so I tweaked over an hour to bring the level back to 1.025. I think a baby snail shell was on the eye of it. I picked it off. I seem to have a lot of limpets in my sump that appear to be breeding. so I'm think to not stress stuff more by changing the light over today. only thing I can come up easily is to wrap the wire around the RMS mount a couple times.
 
You would be amazed at how much this chicken tastes like gator! I’m loving the garlic aioli.

that does look really good. I only had tomato soup. I'm saving my appetite for this steak.
 
Morning @tbrown. Been back fishing again?
Not lately, no. We're hopefully gonna hit the lake with Kayaks here in another week or two. My weekends are stupid hectic most of the time.

I completely understand. I was just realizing how little I've been this year. I hope you get to go, I've always wanted a kayak

Slight variations in the salinity are harmless, it is the major swings to be concerned about.
