Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Why thank you. I'm just happy to see the salt I made finally be put in use... But an earwig made its way into the water.. do you guys think it's bad that debris sometimes makes it into my mix?
Think you're OK 👍
I have my own room for my tank and even then sometimes things get in the water, couple of leaves here and there, little food from the night before... 😉
 
My camera worsens the blues.. but I should probably turn up my whites a bit for viewing purposes. I'm gonna try and get ReefLED shades soon.
Was just razzing you kiddo.
I like whiter tanks as you know 😉
I don't think I could see anything when it's that blue lol..

Yep it's a problem. I wanna make my tank look like FUNGIs, purplish?
 
I've been having a problem with the forum for 2 or 3 months now when posting a photo; sometimes it takes 5 or more attempts, and I have to log out and log back in several times for just one photo, Imagine when I want to upload more than one, sometimes it lets me upload one, and when I go to upload the other, it happens again, and I have to start all over again.
Me too dude...
I must finally be a real person because that message finally stopped but it didn't fix the other problems....
 
I don't bear hunt but my husband has a friend that does and he was nice enough to share some liver he cooked with us. It was amazing!
Nope....

Kessils, nicrews both perfect for that.
Or turn you're whites up a bit.
 
Good morning everyone! No tree stand for me today with wind almost constantly blowing from 15 to 25 miles per hour. Not really sure where we will go because our blinds are in the woods surrounded by trees so that could be dangerous as well with wind like it is. I hope everyone has a good day!

Small 8 point I let walk this morning. He's smaller than the one I shot and I don't want to be tagged out this early in the season as far as bucks go. I still can shoot up to 9 does if I want to.
