Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Close Rock, I actually got the pickling technique and ingredients from my uncle Jeffrey Dahmer (RIP). My mother’s maiden name is Dahmer.

Her maiden name is Dahmer? Seriously? Dude, you're famous if it's the same Dahmer!
 

Make a mental note as well Tim to never meet him in a secluded area. Always in a high traffic area, preferably during daylight hours... oh, and pack heat just in case. Or eat a lot of curry, garlic and kimche so you don't smell good enough to pickle.

Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone, it was a joke, no relation to the psycho Jeffrey. My mother’s maiden name is Anderson like all the Swedish that come from northern Michigan.

Pickled garlic is amazing!
 
Morning everyone!!


Got my new sump and protein skimmer! Waiting on my lids to get cut. I’m going to vinyl wrap the back and side of the sump. Maybe even wrap the inside of my cabinet and plumbing with camo wrap. I have to figure out how to add another filter sock so I don’t have just one.

Good morning Brian! That is one heck of a skimmer, it already is producing skimmate and there isn’t even any water in your Sump!

I was removing the frag rack and about 5 micro brittle starfish flew off and this is what was left on the glass. Kinda reminds me of the painting by Vincent Van Gogh, Stary Stary Night. Two asterina and four micro brittle starfish.

Oh yeah! My tastes run the gammut. (Except rap. And 'country' music newer than like 2010. )

Was just dancing with my daughter to this bouncy banger :)


Nice one!!
Same here honestly about the new country. I just cant relate to it.
