Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Just got home from having the surgeon look at the surgical site. It is what I already knew it was, a large hematoma.
The pathology reports all came back clear! Not that I was worried, but you always sabotage yourself thinking "what if"
Great to hear Rock!
 
So I got my deliver and it seems like there may have been some casualties. We will wait & see. The Fedex guy did a terrible drop and dropped the box when he delivered it & had it wrong way up. Pretty sure two or three Micro brittle stars died as they seemed to disintegrate or were not in the bag and the water was cloudy. Also three of the 5 trochus snails smell and I think passed and the Skunk Cleaner Shrimp was not moving much. Did not seem fully dead but I am currently drip acclimating him but is not responding to touch :(

Stupid random cold weather & Fedex :(

Sorry Thomas, fingers crossed.
 
The hunters here will understand my frustration with this. On my way home from my hunting trip and this guy shows up on my game camera...
Oh no! It's like the big bucks know how to wait for the perfect time. With the way he keeps showing up in the day like that, you're gonna get that guy.
 
Good morning Camden, sorry it’s not letting me post gifs today. I think I used up my yearly allowance but you can go back and look at the one from yesterday!
We've told you 17 times now how to fix the problem silly.

So sorry for your losses. I hate it when weather does unexpected things. I ordered some luve freshwater scuds for pea puffers to eat and they got here yesterday I don't know yet if any made it but will find out shortly.

I tried that and it didn’t work like it did last time but thank you! This site has been really glitching for me over the past few days.

That is so bad to hear man. Ugh Im sorry for you brother. I have a farly big coral order out too. So you think the seller may work with you any?
 
I'm hurting looking at those 7 heavy buckets. I'm thinking 2 rubber made garbage cans here on wheels. One clean RO water with salt mix. Other empty discard water. Just roll it up to the tank, drop a pump in and suck it all out, then drop the pump into the new water and pump it all back in. then roll the waste water to the window or door, and drop the pump back in and right outside. Coat the weeds for a salty kill. But I hope you like cats. you will see plenty soon!
