What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Anyone else noticed that lately Kevin is getting pretty proficient at Googling stuff? I feel like maybe his account got hacked and was taken over by someone with more of a private school education?

Please specify. Rock just took that to mean you want him to wear the clothes he has on now for all of eternity.

Keith, he means don't change your childish ways. Please change your clothes. Underwear should never be worn more than 4 times prior to laundering.
Noted. Only 4 days, not 7. Thank you sir!
 
Jobs , would like to be more involved quicker. A few days ago you asked us to call you crazy. Is that still good or do you want us to go back to Rock?
Rock will suffice my friend

Put the 20 gallon container by the tank, fill a 5 gallon at a time and pour in the big container.

I find it perfectly acceptable.

I don't want to re-invent the wheel for you but this has helped me immensely. I have 2 like this and 2 that are taller and skinnier as well as the water cooler jugs. by far these are easiest. I marked off the gallons on the sides which it holds I think 7.5 gal. Get a small mini pump and pump your mix into one of these and you can bring it and even store it in these for a while right over to your tank. A spigot nozzle allows for easy water filling. I mainly use these for my RO and fill into my ATO reservoir. the mouth is wide enough to allow a heater to drop in and bring the water to temp.

That's a completely reasonable observation Tim lol. And I think 4 is very fair.

Yech@rocks reef change your clothes, but dont change you
 
I try to never let money escape! But I do have several aquariums so...
My brain read it as monkey, probably because of the topic. I didn't even notice it until you mentioned. Unlike Kevin's disturbing coffee pot post this morning.
 
Inside, outside, forward, backward!
I can JUST hear my wife now! Her: You can't turn them inside out! Me: <shakes them off> Why not? <sniffs> there clean.
Shortly after that you'd hear a sigh of disgust and this look that could pierce Godzilla's flesh.
