Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Im conflicted. I like feeding corals, but i've also specifically avoided corals that supposedly require feedings because, if its a requirement, im less likely to do it lol
Mike, what ever you do never buy this plant!

this is why I never tried it back when I wanted to. the whole under gravel filtration.
It works fine and is simple. The hard part was flow until today's powerheads came out. Tunze NanoStreams was one of the earliest. I used MaxiJets with toy boat props, they worked kind of okay.
 
Guys, I might be getting a yellow tang. I got Oliver to point at my tank and say "mamma buhbadabada yellow fish!" And she can say no to me, but not to him haha

Brother I can relate to that like you wouldn't believe.
 
I just checked, it’s one hundred and thirty two. I’ve got nothing on my plate bring it on. First I like pina colada’s and getting stuck in the rain! Next!
What dp you do about worm food? I feel like mine goes moldy before I can use a 1/4 of it 😕
 
I'm heading out early tomorrow for a few days at Katahdin so I don't think I'm going to see your 1/4 mark.
Been a minute since I did Katahdin. Bad in my rebel years. I hiked up with a 76lb bag, and made everyone help drink all my booze that night and hiked down with a 32lb bag hahaha.
 
What do I need to remove for fluanzacole?
Probably nothing livestock wise but pull any carbon, GFO, etc. for the duration. Why flux, algae?

Just make sure mamma doesn't know about yellow wrasses or yellow clown gobies, or etc.

I almost thought about a canary blenny, but figured, tang first 😂
 
We ought to go through and find all the songs that have been shared, then @00W Ought to share 2 at a time, and we vote for the better of the two, until we get down to a albums worth and make it the Smorgasbord Playlist 🤔 anyone got an extra 3 or 4 solid days worth of scrolling for songs? 🤣😂
Great idea Mike when are you starting 👍 😀
