Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I snot laughed!
Good morning brother!
Snot laughed??? Is that when you laugh through your nose and boogers shoot out because of congestion?
 
What is this "Time Changes" you refer to?
I wish the rest of the U.S. would follow Arizona and Hawaii and drop daylight savings time.

Almost minus the snot. I'm not congested... thankfully or I'd have had a lip oyster

Nope. Not in Arizona. We have too much daylight to try to save some.
I just had this for breakfast, I didn't know, I know there are countries that don't change time but I didn't know there were states right here that didn't.
 
worried how the peroxide is reacting with the calcium, would worry the same with the acid
I always just used diluted chlorine bleach with a tap water rinse and it worked fine and never gave me any problems. I used it on everything from basketball-sized pieces organ pipe coral skeletons to two-foot across tabling acropora skeletons and everything in between. At one point I had about three hundred pounds of coral skeleton on shelves or in tanks. Gave it all away in the late 90s. A word of caution: if you have any algae issues, coral skeletons draw it like a magnet so you need to keep it clear until the encrusters can take over.

I didn't think about that Tom. Very good point about the algae. Maybe something that'll grow in lower light, or will grow quickly enough to out compete m
 
Hello Vetteguy!
Good morning and I see breakfast people here . Funny is, im still trying to figure out who left a container of coffee and donuts on my desk from Dunkin donuts

Hawaii doesn't change time nor does most of Arizona. Because we have a lot of Guardian (nee Native American, nee Indian) Reservations, the Navajo reservation in the four corners area of northeastern Arizona does observe daylight savings time but the Hopi reservation inside the Navajo reservation stays on standard time like the rest of Arizona.
 
Just working through work.
Well, I hope your day is going well and you have that abundance of Arizonian water under control sir.
 
You guys are still talking about breakfast, and here I am just finishing a turkey sandwich for lunch, haha

If you're in the sharing mood Vetteguy (if you'd told me your name, I've forgotten it), I like coffee and donuts. Oh, my name is Keith.
