Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
As you can see, there is no algae on the frags or egg crate. So, if you get any, they will be free of any uglies
Do you use a sump or a hob (just kidding, im kidding)
 
seems like they are called white bass up north
Down here on the Mississippi coast and around Louisiana, we call them, Sacalait pronounced sackalay. A French term for "sack of milk" that is a reference to their delicious white meat

fixing to head outside and get some yard work done, will leave you with a pic of that chalice I purchased a few weeks ago, color is much better in person than with the filters on my camera, its already grown over where it was cracked. The duncan has what looks like 3 new heads coming out, cant see it very well in the pics.

Yesterday was Chocolate Covered Raspberry. Not my favorite but it smells amazing.
So we're going for a sugar buzz and not a caffeine rush? Good Lord man. You could have a black coffee and a piece of birthday cake for breakfast. 😆 🤣 😂

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
sure I'll drop my phone in the tank and measure PAR
 
unfortunately my Coral delivery is being delivered by Justin. Same guy that showed up really late like last time when it said before noon. meanwhile our normal driver was already through the neighborhood. They don't even list anywhere where I can file a complaint. 😡😡

You know the answer to that sir! 💩 head
Lights, heater, powerheads and a surface intake Tunze filter with filter floss. No other wizardry! I talk to them and add AFR manually each evening, light an unscented candle for them and blast Pantera!
