Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I can go up to 300 PAR, but will throw off the bottom PAR badly, don't want to cook what I have, will play around with the lighting and placement, most LPS is island mounted right now, others can be moved. but don't know if that would adversely effect them.
Just mount the SPS on the highest points in your tank sir
I did
 
Thanks, I won't be ordering anything though until at least Wednesday.

Tank is a 100 gallon AIO, actual water volume is about 80-82 gallons.
Reach out to friends and family and see if anyone has some sitting around. I believe it’s 500mg per 30 gallons. Also, I don’t know if you have pets, reach out to your veterinarian and explain your situation and why you need it and hopefully they’ll understand and write you a script. The sooner the better.

I could mail you 1500 mg today if you pm me your full name and address. The post office closes at 1:00 pm eastern time.
 
Good morning everyone, it's a busy weekend, lol. Today I have to go and continue installing some coolers we're working on, and after that and tomorrow I'll go to my in-laws' house to keep helping them
Good morning Luis! Remember, even God needed a day of rest after creating everything.

Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers), she escaped from Joel and made her way all the way back from Idaho? Reminds of a real life version of the movie Paulie!

You can definitely say that! I have watched aiptasia disappear one by one. Almost every day led to more being gone. It was really cool to see them hatch in my tank. Ill have plenty of pics in the next few days
