What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Hi guys, thanks for checking in yesterday! I appreciate it. Yeah, im doing alright. I had the day off today so I got some work around the house done. Things should really slow down next week. Im really hoping to be online more. Sorry for being gone so often. The tank is doing well. All the fish are well and the corals are growing.

@00W, I am deeply saddened to hear about your fish. Thats heartbreaking.
 
I accidently made like 47g of fresh saltwater Friday or Saturday so I have now done 3 10% water changes since haha. I always forget to shutoff my RODI... speaking of which I ought to go turnh off the water to my ato lol
And that goes directly to the tank or do you do the RO water separately?

Photos or it's not happening lol, we already need a fts of your tank, I'm glad everything is okay with you, my friend.

I have my ato tank under my sump stand. So worst case, my floor gets wet. Done that a few times haha
 
He’s doing better, sleeping a lot but the antibiotics seem to be working and the Ibuprofen every six hours is keeping his fever down. I think he has turned the corner. Thanks for asking.
Great to hear Kev!

I have my RO system on the patio under the kitchen sink. At some point I would like to have it directly into the tank because I have the water heater next to the tank, but I'm afraid it will fail one day and flood my house.
 
Just sitting down...

Boy drank all my fizzy water...
Sorry no green bottle Camden...
You've had several busy days, my friend. Amy good luck finding a second helper? You only have 3 days left until your weekend, and I hope you can get some rest.

Luckily I have mine down in the basement. So if it floods its not a big deal. I keep a dehumidifier down there to keep things in check anyways.
 
Everyone is looking okay...

Kept all 4 wavemakers going last night, paranoid...
Tank is crystal clear today.
Tang is eating like crazy not having that angel to contend with.
I don't think the Tang police will come for me now... 😉

So now we are up to Andre Leroy Fernando Junior the First.

And if we want to get technical…my legal first name is Luis…middle name is Andre…but we have a Luis here already and I’ve gone by Andre since I can remember. I was born in Brazil to an American dad/Brazilian mom.
Nice to meet you I'm Joel
Your tank is gorgeous!! 😍
I'm going with Andre the First.
As long as I've lived in Idaho, my nickname has been Mr Joel.
When I grew up, everyone just called me J.

In the TSB defense, my friend Luis came over yesterday to get some corals, but especially a piece of my weeping willow Japanese toadstool leather that came from him, but his tank broke and he lost almost everything, and I helped him with some corals. The thing is that the TSB has been eating the dead tissue of the toadstool and it could be that something else has damaged your scoly and it is eating that damaged tissue. Keep an eye on it, but it could be a possibility.
Wait…how many of us Luis’ are out there?🤪
 
I think its called scratch. Cheddar is outdated. Thats Kevin terminology. Same with things like Jeepers and golly gee willickers
🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're on literal fire tonight Mike!!🤣
