Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ok, I posted the right song but the wrong video for the first video/song played on MTV. It’s been bothering me all day so I’m going to correct it.
 
Good evening Bev! How’s the tank?
Still low but it’s going I think. I have some bright pink stuff growing in things. Maybe cyano. Hard to blow off but does lay in a mat lol. The nems are all kinda open but the tentacles are still sucked in. Still on the rocks (ones on the calurpa lol) so I’m taking that as an ok sign
 
Everything ok now Joel?
Everything is closed today.
I had it towed to the Honda dealership.
It died on the freeway.
I guess all the lights came on, car shut down, screen said massive failure, chance of fire
It literally said that on the screen.
I have no idea what's wrong.
It's had so many recalls, so many issues and it's a 2019.
My truck is a 2006 and I've had next to zero issues.
Sometimes all this technology is not bueno.
 
Long holiday Joel?
Yeah Paul.
Not the way I wanted to spend the day.
My daughter and her boyfriend have finally broken up and it has been constant stress.
Between that and the Cafe I'm really worn out....

Joel, love ya buddy, keep chugging along. You ever need anyone to talk to you got a good group of people here, and im pretty sure most everyone here would happily jump right in and PM you if its every personal. If not, let us know, we'll have Kevin do some pressure point and paralyze them with one finger!

Get the Coralife biocube scraper for curved edges. That worked really well for mine.
I have a tunze nano with the plastic blade. Was gonna try that and if it doesnt work well, I will try that one. I won't be using the one it came with lol. It doesnt even have a brand name on it and the magnest rattle something fierce if you pull them apart and shake em haha
