Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@tbrown did I see your setosa in almost shade? Im thinking of taking mine off the frag rack and mounting it. Seems pretty versatile?
Not necessarily shade. It is directly below my light maybe 3"-4" off the sand bed. The Birdsnest does shade it somewhat now though.
 
So, last night I asked my wife if she knew what a clam cradle was. Her facial expression was priceless because she knows how my mind works. Her words: Do I even want to know? Me: <laughing hysterically> Oh, yes you do!
After I explained it to her, she says... "I thought this was going somewhere else knowing you". 🤣
ah morning coffee and clam pictures...today is gonna be a good day..hahaha
 
Squint its mint!

All I'm going to say is we have a 16" ACP line running up a hill that I was called in afterhours to repair around 20 years ago. Our supervisor at the time didn't know how to use the repair clamp so he messed it up on accident. We duct taped it back and installed it. 20 years later and going strong!

I've never used a bike tire as a repair clamp though... Gum rubber, yes. Mud flap from a semi, yep! Bicycle tire??? What are they, crazy?

Its just a carwash, nothing too crazy. Owner asked my to fix the bonding jumper to his waterline after I was here a week because he shortened the pipe up a week prior and his wire was too short so for 2 weeks his water lines weren't bonded at all lol 🤷‍♂️ its kinda a slummy carwash
