Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
y'all don't want me to bring out the redneck arsenal
just joking, I do have some fine weapons if you ask me, but not tonight. will do it tomorrow. Beemn sampling some of my gifts today
 
My eyesight is not great lol. The AR556 has a laser reflex sight about midway up the top rail. The smaller 9mm carbine does as well. The shotgun doesn't need one because it's a 12 ga with a 19" barrel, you're not shooting past 50 yards with that with any reasonable expectation of accuracy. The small 9mm pistol has a veridian red dot laser built into the trigger guard which is cool. The rifle up top is a .257 weatherby magnum with a 56mm scope that could help you see down ants throught, 500 yards away. I try to keep em light with as few add ons as possible. (Not a fan of flashlights for example) but I definitely have to have good optics.
I love my Leopold Red dot scope is great especially when the sun is starting down and light is dimming.

Gorgeous Keith! Im running mine in about 100 to 125. Should that be a decent range?

My husband bought mine for me then he tried it one day and loved it and so I bought him one this year for his birthday.

I remember that! I tried to get my wife to read the thread when you were talking about it. 😉
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 6 31.6%
  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 3 15.8%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 5 26.3%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
