Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Take care out there Walker, how is the tank with those temperatures?
It's doing good! I have the AC on now. I just like to keep the AC off as long as possible.
 
Currently 91 degrees but they say it feels like 160 degrees gotta go, I’m doing hibachi on my driveway. Luis, I don’t know how you work in this all summer, and your summer is 9 months long.
 
The wife just called, the blood patch is off. His blood culture came back with staph. The are admitting him with antibiotic IV.

At least 10 lol, and I think 11, just a month of cold and if anything it drops to 50° minimum
 
I think Joel is on his thread less on his days off than when he is working. That’s a good sign, I hope he’s out on the water with his family.

I hope he is too! He deserves it.
 
Ok so with my recent tragedy in my little tank which I'm still getting over, all corals and rocks are now in the big tank.
I ripped this apart and did a 20g change as well.
Took me about 2 hours.
That's the one bogus thing about bare bottom.
Rocks just don't want to stand up...
