Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My other thought was a track system that I just roll the light out of the way, but then I have tracks on my ceiling in my living room. Looks are very important as its a focal point in my living room. I say this yet i've yet to paint the stand doors and trim out the foam board 😅
Gotta admit- my goods shelf is red neck, my doors are askew, my glass is often dirty- the only way to hide it all is to pull down the projector screen- no one who is new to the tank has ever said, "Man when you gonna straighten out those doors?" and your tank looks way better than mine. Just saying. I'm trying to get my stuff looking more orderly and being more orderly too, but my guests always love the tank. Come to think of it, the refugium in my bedroom looks more finished than my DT...that crab is living large
 
The working concept is the big thing. I thought about a electric chandelier winch but that's like $1,000 or something wild like that
@Paul B might have one from when he rewired somebody's grand ballroom or something 🤔 😳 🙂
 
I just planted two bacon bushes out back. One is hickory smoked, other is uncured. I'll see how it grows.
@Anna K has a couple of bacon bushes that wander around her property...
 
You are tied to me for life lol, no matter what you say you will not get rid of me so easily lol
I'm the complete opposite in that sense. Although I'll eat any fruit, I still prefer tropical fruits to any other. Incredibly to believe but I started trying almost all other fruits after I turned 18, when I arrived in this country.

Did I miss that post?

All good Wes I love your tank!
My swamp is coming along great and I just put my lights on the top of my tank and call it 👍.
 
Good morning everyone! Busy day ahead for me helping build a platform for a new bed, riding Leo and hauling the horse trailer around to get some practice in before I haul Leo or Dottie in it.
