What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I met this guy that went hunting a long time ago. he said as he was hiking through the woods, he came across a hunter laying down on the ground with a shotgun still in his hand. he thought he was dead. he kicked the guy with his foot and he mumbled and just rolled over and a whiskey bottle rolled out from under him. still completely wasted. he said he unloaded the guys shotgun but afterwards said he should have just taken it. your comment of "crash out" reminded me of it!
Yep im basically that guy but with no alcohol lol. Alcohol and gunpowder don't mix.
 
Alright y'all won.. I went with a long nose hawkfish.
He has a tomini in for me next week so stay tuned for that.
You did the right thing Camden and you showed maturity and patience.

Congratulations Camden. In the long run you, the tang, and the hawkfish will all be happier for your decision.

My wrasse probably will too. He's the fish I've grown old with
 
I set up the Bluetti today as back up for the return pump.


You will have to post some of your thoughts on that dude when you have some experience with it.

I just a few moments ago posted a 'gotcha' for the unit in my tank thread

https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/t...yle-acrylic-aio.1032196/page-46#post-13953576
and in the Bluetti contest thread.

Not really an issue just a setting you need to be aware of. I also posted some initial thoughts on the unit in my thread.

So far I'm very impressed with the unit. I also watched a tear down video on one of the Bluettis on YouTube and it looked like a quality build throughout.
 
went out to dinner. gone for about 90 minutes. came home to this.

Oh, I’m so sorry, I wouldn’t think you would need a nem guard for a tube anemone. I hope it’s going to make it.
 
Is that the tube anemone?
yeah. don't know what happened since I wasn't home. When I left though it was out and flowing. It left its sock under the rock. I cleaned the power head and removed the body. I don't have the stamina to do a water change tonight. I don't think it was long like that.
 
Probably that's the last time you went to the doc... I'd say your perfectly healthy brother! I avoid doctors too and I'm in the medical field!
People in the medical field orientation make the worst patients I have been told.
