Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Where do you get these? Are these pods?
Yeah. Keurig pods. Not sure about the box we're working through right now - one of my leads bought this box. At home I have whatever I find at the store and then my mother-in-law bags me up a gallon of pods in a whole variety of flavors occasionally so I have a whole variety of flavors and roasts.
 
Do I go with PVC or silicon flexible piping for a sump? How do unions, bulkheads etc work?
Typical is PVC drains but I've used flexible in the past, especially for external overflows.

Return is usually flexible at the sump up to PVC at some point before entering the tank.
 
Here you go, Tom @tharbin A few months after this video, Robert plant replaces Keith Relf on lead vocals. Jimmy Paige takes up lead guitar (like he does). And they recruit Bonham and Jones. One legendary band becomes another. I dont know if anything like that has happened before or since.

What a great video!
 
Figuring out funding. I met the legendary survivor winner Kyle Fraser today. He went to my school, we had a good conversation and I got a photo. I've also been slowly figuring out what I'm going to do after gha is gone. Yesterday there was tons of dead white strands of gha so I turned my skimmer back on. I think I'm going to do carbon dosing and get more lettuce nudibranches. After that the sump will be added in February.
Are you removing the dying algae daily?
 
Like this one a lot. In my mind it goes to religious imagery, but I doubt if that was what the songwriters were thinking. None of their other material leans that way (I don't think)


I've never heard this before and I like it, a lot. I see what you mean about the imagery.

Which one would be better for me?
 
Thank you so much Amanda. Im having a blast watching your coral collection glowing and growing too my friend. ❤️
Thank you! I just hope I can keep them alive!
 
I can't see if it's in there but I think he did this last night. I have 3 other large rocks that would need to be removed to get to this one to see if the frag id there. they were the radioactive ones. the frag plug broke off so I had it resting there for a couple weeks. never glued but the next will be. I guess I'll be getting a several variety of zoas at some point. I also just changed my lighting. I think I really need more. I don't have a PAR meter.
Try that phone par meter app for us, so you'll be the one that gets made fun of while I try it secretly and dont tell anyone. Lol
