Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Your heaters are on a controller, right? I understand that the controllers were trying to heat up the water because the display was cold, but do your heaters not have controllers in the unit? I have them set to 83 so 1) if the controller ever fails, it won't cook the tank and 2) for instances like yours.
No, my heaters are titanium BRS heaters with no other controls. Plug them into a wall socket and they are on constant. I might change that soon though. Either that or I'll add a temp prove in the sump and set it up to shut the heaters off if the sump hit a certain temp. Not sure which route to take yet though
 
Hi everyone! Hope you had a great 4th and 5th and plenty to eat!

And I love it when my wife and I are on the same wavelength.

JoJo: what would really round this off is a bit of dessert.
Wife: I'll get the boys showering and in pajamas. You sneak out to get the ice cream

Got some cookies, too .

I think I'm done wearing shoes... Forever. Lol.

( We store our shoes in the garage) I was putting on my shoe today. I never check to see if anything in them, I just put them on. While putting them in, my toe hit something rubbery in the toe box. I stick my hand in to remove it, but I got freaked out after touching it again because it felt gross. I shook the shoe to get the thing to fall out, and it was a dead frog 😭... Never, ever again do I want to go through that. LOL. Anyways... Good night folks!
 
What'd you get!?!
a small "creamcicle" and a cheap ($6) auction win "Bean Stalk" not sure why I bid on the bean stalk, but I did.

no pic saved on the bean stalk, but it did not have green color in it. I have only seen orange creamcicle

It's been a while since we last went. I ordered a pasta called Cajun Jambalaya, it's super spicy but it was good.
