Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
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.
I think I had the acan echinata too close when I was acclimating them on the sandbed.
 
gutter? house or tank? never heard the tank called gutters before. then again first time I moved to Maine and there was some rain someone asked if the roads were greasy? that was a new one to me. but makes sense.
I replaced my sponge in the sump with gutters:

Those things are mean!!! I found that out the hard way. Im hoping for a full recovery Walker.
 
This is my cousin, she is my daughter’s age and has been water skiing since she was 5yo. She doesn’t leave the water for dinner and just water boards while having dinner.

Before heading to the lake I have some time for a quick podcast of cooking dog food with Kev!

you should get one of those oregano grinders. if you know what I mean. will make things easier for you!
 
is that chicken souvlaki?
Beef (ribeye) and chicken kabobs, Greek rice, two different hummus, pita and my garlic aioli that I put a splash of hot sauce on.
 
that dog eats better than a lot of people do!
Costs much less to make hypoallergenic food than buying the specialty foods.
