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

@luis angel it's a double trouble capacitor. Dual start, compressor and cinder fan:

He's on his way to buy a replacement and I'll head that way to install it here after I get my daughter dropped off.

If you have any questions, let me know. If he buy the same one is changing cable by cable, towards the hermetic, common and fan, and if he find them separated, I can draw you how to connect them
 
Who said it's not good for anyone else? If it's good for you it's good for us, get it all out, believe me, I know it's difficult but it's very necessary, I carried many backpacks for many years and when I spoke I confess that I felt like all that weight came off me, I'm not proposing that you talk about all your things in public but I do recommend that you find someone who is willing to listen without even giving you an opinion if you don't want it, I can recommend many Smorgs to you right now, but it could also be someone unknown and I assure you that out there there are many people willing to listen, hugs my brother
You're a great friend Luis. And you're 1000% right. I still wish you lived next door buddy

Sounds good! The good news is this is my fourth capacitor swap between the A/C and pool pump. 😂
 
John, how are you holding up brother?
Doing good brother Keith. I had to leave the hospital to come watch the kids while my wife does a job interview view. Im glad to see everyone today.
 
It's been a few days so here's an update on the tank. All of the visible aiptasia is gone. The berghia had babies in my tank and I've been seeing them roaming around the rocks. The finally got the last large one yesterday. It was a really cool process to watch. They 100% did their job! @ReefEngineer
 
If you need to bounce anything medical off me, you have my number.
I sure will, man! Thank you so much. What a valuable asset and I really appreciate your kindness my friend. Theyre trying g her in a physical rehabilitation center for a while to see if they can get her walking on her own again.

Still praying John.

So he got a 70+5 +/-5% instead of the +/-6% and it's a 440/330 instead of just a 440. The 1% is fine, right?
 
My shipment is delayed as well. It updated to say it will be delivered tomorrow. I have my fingers cross that the torch survives.
mine the same, arriving tomorrow
 
I got some.gonis in today. I ordered them a couple weeks ago. They look pretty good. I hope I dont kill them.

Those are beautiful John! Some of them already have "tentacles" out, and all of them have polyps out! That's excellent news! You are going to do awesome. If you ever have questions, we are here for you! I'm still praying for you, your mom and your family John. I'm very sorry that you're going through this right now.
 
My hate is for USPS, everything somebody send me through them either gets lost or delayed
I just shipped a Kenya tree next day air. The slip they gave me said it would be picked up same day. Next day notice said I dropped it off after the cutoff time 🤷‍♂️

It was delivered by 9 Wednesday, but since I haven't heard anything from the recipient, I'm guessing he doesn't want to help pay for shipping on a dead coral.
