Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ohhh, I think that when I arrived in the country to do my residency, I had more than 14 vaccinations, but that was more than 10 years ago. After that, I didn't need that for the citizenship.
Tetanus you need like every 5 years.
 
That looks delicious Kevin!
Thanks John it is one of my wife’s and I’s favorite Chinese dishes. We could only get it when visiting my father and stepmother in NYC. My senior year and her junior year at OSU my coworker introduced me to a five star Chinese restaurant in Columbus that had it on their menu. Last time we down there for a football game it had closed 3 months earlier. 😪 I need to increase the heat next time, this batch was only mildly spicy.

I use the medium bag for my tank in my PO4 reactor 11 hours a day and it keeps the phosphates at about 0.4

Yesterday I wanted to share this video with you all and I forgot. I know that all tanks are not the same, but look at those beauties with 1.2 I think of Po4.
 
im not sure luis. i just have a container of the loose stuff to put in my reactor
I don't actually measure it, I use the whole bag, and by testing you can see how much it goes down, at what speed and if it stays there afterwards.

The tank has been doing really, really well. I only spend a few minutes on it daily and everything is doing well! Oh, and look at what I got today!

Wow, thanks for Sharing Luis! Amazing how young these tanks are and yet look like they are many years old.
