Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oddly enough, for me, reefing is on par price wise with my other hobbies. But If someone makes good enough money and wants a $5000 reef, God Bless em!
John, remember when you asked how thick the glass was on the new tank I received? Well, I said 1/2"... I was wrong. It is 3/4". So, I was messing around with an extra MP-10 I had and the glass is too thick for that magnet. I just ordered some MP-40s. They should hold, I will see when they arrive.
 
@tbrown the curiosity bug is killing me because of how long it's taking you to make the sum of what you have invested in the tank lol
With as much stuff as he wins, he has probably made money setting up his tanks!
 
That's the approximate weight of each aiptasia. Lol
You could take some out and start culturing them to feed and breed Aptasia. There is a huge market for aptasia, you could sell them to support your reef!
 
This is the third year this hummingbird has been visiting my feeder. How do I know it’s the same bird you ask? Unlike the other hummingbirds it is shaped like a golf ball and is the only one that sits at the feeder instead of eating and immediately fly off. It is absolutely fearless, didn’t care that I raised the blind so I could take the picture. The others I freeze to watch and if I blink they fly off.

It's not fat Kevin, it's big boned. Please don't body shame. Oh, on a side note, I tilted my computer monitor and your bird feeder is straight! 🤪 🤣
 
Does anyone know who has the Geisemann Spectra on here? I saw a post a few (ALOT) pages back and I can't find it now or remember who posted it. I think it was Tom???

3/4" or 5/8"? 3/4" is EXTRA thick!
