Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Anyone have any experience with these tanks? I'm thinking I might get a slightly larger tank than my 6 gallon pico.
I had an Evo 13.5, I really like it. I added two extra LED bars in the top though
 
Good mornin.

I’ve never had the Evo but I know a lot of people like them.
Good morning Bev. I probably missed it, but how is the salinity issue going?
 
is the fluval like 13 gallons Amanda? if so i have one like it. have you checked out the open box stuff on brs? they usually have some nice little tanks on there for a decent price
Hi Jill!! How's the build coming along? I need to drop by your tank thread.
 
Good morning Rock, you’ve been quiet. I was just about to call our private investigator.

It was a busy three day weekend sir. Sunday was recovery day after the Ted Nugent concert... LOL! Yesterday, I worked on the stand for several hours, all the doors are done. Time to remove the doors and sand it down. Fill the pocket holes with wood filler, sand those down, paint the inside of the stand with exterior rubberized paint... still quite a few things to do. I want to have it up and running by the end of the mont.

1.024ish today. Kinda in between that and the 3.

Nems today under orange and yellow lenses.

I’m not sure what that stuff is. It’s not goopy like cyano and doesn’t smell
It’s almost powdery until it compresses. Hard to get off. Doesn’t seem to be irritating anything other than the zoas. Just unsightly.

was it there before the the salt decrease? could be either too long for white lights or imbalanced nutrients that need to catch up.

Kinda but not this much. And there’s barely any white on the setting I have on the light due to the dinos.
 
Forgot to post a picture of my plate last night. Got some surf and turf going on. Not my first choice of surf but not my last. I’d prefer what Mike and Paul eat 3 x a day.
