Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ah.. the morning gif, do you do a change every day? How does your RO work? Does it automatically turn on or something?
I put mine in my utility sink and set a timer on my phone. When the water reaches your float valve it raises it and causes the water to shut off. I’ve never used one though.
I like that a lot... I'm gonna install it, it's like an auto system so it doesn't leak everywhere.
 
Good morning my friend John!
Hello my friend! It always makes me happy to catch up with you Joel. And once again, ill say, be kind to yourself as much as possible today and always.
 
I took me a little bit to find it, was heart broke, the two top branches are broken and cant find them. but this is the picture of a 50 plus year old acro skeleton. its needs peroxide dipped to whiten it.

I love it! The way it grew, would make a nice looking display piece in your tank. That's a bummer that it broke some, but it'll be amazing as you bring it back to life.

Ill be looking for a crusting coral here shortly
 
Well, it appears I missed about another 10 pages that I won't go back and read.

I am sure, by now, everyone has heard of the very sad and tragic news about Baruch. I received a message last night at 11:56 from his bother. My lady and I were planning a drive over to Miami to see his tank and hang out.
I am devastated. I will miss Baruch immensely. Another reminder that today is all we really have.

Wishing you all a warm Sunday.
Same to you Chris. Im hurt and I didn't know the young man nearly as well as you did. You know it's probably going to be all sadness for a bit, but hopefully that'll soon fade into a loving memory of your friend and everything you guys shared with each other.
 
Maybe he can talk to his stupid doctor and see if he will prescribe it. I'm not a fan of his doctor...
Take him "hunting " with yall next time 😉
 
Pretty soon you teens will shorten the entire English language into just a bunch of acronyms and we won't even need to speak anymore 😉
No cap, bruh!
 
It would go perfect with a classic arcade style racing game! Maybe some like the old need for speeds, test drive or one of the more combat oriented racers!
Exactly!!!

Good point! Like Vigilante 8 or Twisted Metal
 
What I'm doing today:
Topping off the tank
Starting salt mixing
Doing a 2.5g change later today just to get started with what I have.
How long should I mix for?
If IO purple a few hours at least.
