What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ordered $7,000,000,000,000 in light bulbs.
Hated them all so far but this combo, which, don't think I'm too silly, is my old combo from my old thread starting 75....

Shoulda just started there...
 
Why metal? A lot of us are using 3d-printed mounts on our lights.

Here's the ones I just made for my new Meridian 11 out of PET-CF.

and here it is mounted. All of the lights are on 3d-printed mounting bars.

@Nor’easter Reefer , Mike I’m not posting this because I want you to think of me as your favorite on this thread because I already am. I stayed up to be the first to wish you a happy birthday. Once everyone saw I wasn’t going to bed at my usual time everyone logged off including you.

Do any of y'all supplement your corals with reef roids or anything similar?
I do.

I broadcast feed the tank amino acids once a week and I target feed the LPS with Benepets (or Reef Roids), Arcti-Pods (or Golden Pods), R.O.E., and Oyster Feast at least once a week.

I broadcast reef chili but as soon as I’m out I’m switching to BeneReef.

I don't have anything that needs anything, mine are just light/dirty water driven.
 
Reef2reef didn't seem to want me online lol, I thought it was for everyone but it wouldn't let me in until now
I was having a lot of trouble using the site for a while also.
