What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
How are you, Walker, how are the family, the puppies and the tank? We already miss photos of those beauties
Im doing good Luis! The dogs are doing great, but they don't like this hot weather lol. The tank is also doing well! I'll try to get pictures of the dogs later!
 
Good evening Walker, how is the pups, haven’t seen a picture in a long time.
They're doing good! I'll see if I can get a photo later today, if not, I'll do it tomorrow!

You beat me to it, goes to show the advantage of being young!
 
You're missing all this grass to mow lol, That looks spectacular and beautiful to put two goals and play soccer

Haha, the picture doesn’t do it justice. That is actually a pretty tall mountain…but doesn’t look like it in the photo. Could definitely get some soccer goals on the grass though.
 
Evening guys! What a day. So freaking hot!
Good evening Mike, weren’t you just complaining of the snow and cold a few months ago? I must be thinking of someone else. 😜
 
Hello Mike, hopefully it was a good day. How are the corals looking bud?
Not too bad! There were a few stn issues on the acros, but a few water changes and letting them acclimate these last couple weeks and things seem to have stabilized. I dare say the stn has not only stopped, but MAYBE just maybe, started to heal back up. I got a santa monica surf 2 algae scrubber showing up tomorrow per @VintageReefer recommendation so hopefully that and my skimmer will be enough to compensate for my feeding regime

97°, high humidity, and high UV and today's the day they send me out to do the feed for a couple new heat pumps. Spent ALL day outside. Then there was road association drama 😒 we dont have anyone here who knows a decent bit about maintaining a private dirt road do we?

You bought the scrubber!? I think that was a fantastic purchase. I have an aio system and it is so dialed in right now. The second that changes, im getting a Santa Monica ats, no doubt about it. It'll be cool to watch your progress and see the reaction your corals have to it. It could also be beneficial for your ph levels.
