Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning everyone! Got woken up by the sound of water dripping at 1:00. Somehow the ATO hose on my pico had fallen out of the tank and the pump had kicked on and there was about 2 gallons of water on the floor it had almost emptied the reservoir out. While it was not fun to be up cleaning water at that time of morning I'm glad it was not the tank. The piece that holds the hose to the tank a while back broke so I have just had the hose stuck down in the filter. Today my project will be too figure out something to hold the hose in place.
Sorry Amanda. I put my ato on a timer plug. The plug only allows power to the ato for about 1 min a day. This gives it ample time to fill up the ato chamber, but keeps it from coming on, any other time of the day.
 
Got done with an ark survival evolved session with a buddy. Had to finish taming our daedons. Woke up at 6 this morning and went to go setup a 5k. Today the seller is going to give me the width dimension. If it fits my stand I'll score a very cheap sump.
Less than 18% of that made any sense to me Cam, but I wish you the best!
 
@WalkerLovesTheOcean I was thinking about you today man. I really hope you're doing well. I miss you being around brother
Thanks, John, this means a lot. I'll try my best to get on more often, at least to check in. How's your tank doing? From the pic I saw your corals look awesome. My tank has kind of been neglected, and my plate coral got stung by something but I think it's recovering well.

Oh no! Any idea what stung it?
Plates seem to be really resilient corals in my experience so far.
May tank is doing pretty well right now. I just miss my fish that I haven't replaced yet. I guess im just too picky and cant quite find what im looking for.

Great to hear from you my friend. Always a pleasure.
