What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Anybody get lucky in the partner drawing
I missed the live drawing and don’t even know how to check. However, I would think someone would have contacted me if I were a winner.

I pulled in a $250 gift card to Unique corals, and the Galaxy pods and phyto 4 pack
I see what you did there. Asked about winners all so you could brag! Ha!
 
Good morning Jimmy! Hunting or fishing this morning?

Good morning Chris, yes I am off on Fridays but I think that ends when I start my new job next week. Good news for the Smorgasbord, I won’t be on as much.

Good morning Paul, I can only imagine how you feel looking at that spot in your tank. Once again, sorry.

I need to do a 50-25% water change.. I've decided that I need to put more effort into my tank and this is how I can start. I still have instant ocean salt.. what are my first steps for mixing? I have an extra power head.. a trash can (Brute) and a heater I got as a free gift.. is that all I need?

Good morning Camden, yes you are good to go but I also check the salinity of the new batch and sometimes have to adjust to get it just right by adding a little more salt or water.
