Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I've often thought about switching to all for reef, but my tank consumes some parameters more than others, and it's better for me to adapt my dosing system to each need.
Same here Luis. I love the idea, but I dont think it's the best for me either, for the same reasons
 
That was always my issue with it. As much as I love using AFR, the downfall is, it'll raise all of your parameters even though you might need them all raised
This may have been addressed but I dose AFR daily and calcium and magnesium as needed based on test results.
 
Hi Kev you too 😊
How's the new job going?
Going well Joel thanks, still trying to figure everything out. His practice is about 1/3 chiropractic, which I am currently doing. He has multiple degrees and I’m pretty sure he went to private school or was home schooled. He’s already talked about promoting me and hiring someone else to do the chiropractic care. Not sure how I feel about it it but more money has really never sucked for me so far. An hour less commute a day doesn’t suck either. You can google Tripp Chiropractic and Nutrition in Sharon PA to see all of what is done here.
 
It's hard to tell if that's green slimeball ANACROPORA or Montipora Spongodes. Maybe Tim will chime in. Either way, that is perfect par for them, absolutely. Beautiful choices, the lepto's you chose are stunning. Easy on the light with the leptos. I bleached one in about 150 par but I moved it up way too fast. Acclimate slowly or keep them at 100 or lower in my experience. Great choices Jimmy
Looks Slimeball to me based on the growth.

Kevin, that genuinely made me smile. You're an awesome person and I am thankful for any good fortune that you come across
 
You know you love when I post who I think they look like since I have NO clue who they actually are.
I think it's hilarious, absolutely
 
Beautiful song! If I tried singing it, the neighbors might start praying too — for me to stop.
That's my job at Mass. I sing loudly and then everyone around me tries to drown me out.
