Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My brother
My brother used to raise pigs. If they were on concrete he had to give them a selenium shot as well, but if they were on dirt they got it eating dirt.
Thats what my Google search said as well, but I haven't done much more than 30sec worth of googling
 
Oh snap! Guys, my neighbor and I bought to pigs in May. 2 sows. Well. 2 turned to nine over the weekend

So since some people call baby chicks chicken nuggets would these be called bacon bits?
 
Expected outage for at least another 1:30 hours but they're still "investigating the cause".
 
What's crazy is shortly after he posted the power was out there it went out here as well. We have back up generators but it still makes all the computers shut down.
We too had a “glitch”. It was only enough to trip the UPS. And obviously we are all not on the same system.

My lights are always on but nobody’s home. 🤔
 
just to share, second load of phyto should be ready in 3 to 4 days

Did you buy a kit or is that all DIY? I think I'd like to try culturing my own but on the fence
