Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Shoot I wish.

I feel a couple weeks ago, banging my knees up and my wrist a little. So things have been slow.

Wrist is feeling a lot better so will try to catch up on the projects I started.
So sorry Bev, with your talent you could always paint with your toes and feet like the artist born without upper extremities. No pressure though.
 
You would be helping to make the hobby more accessible for more types of tanks. Ive seen quite a few scenarios where a reefer could really use a turf scrubber, but they were cost prohibitive or just didnt exist for their tank. Please keep us posted on your progress
A person could always build their own turf scrubber for pretty cheap.
 
Updates on the past 6 pages if any are needed? Busy day, busy weekend, busy upcoming week.

Luis did a big water change and maintenance. Rumple still likes coffee. Bev fell and suffered upper and lower extremity injuries. Paul is making steaks for dinner. Turns out John likes music. Remi, Mike and Walker are still awol. I have a very hungry scoly. Joel is getting beat up at work but he posted a picture of a base ball player. @GarrettDie4U is excited to watch his Packers play today.

I bet you could turn it into another source of income, there are pervs out there that would pay to watch your videos. 😉

and here's my steak in case you're wondering. It is pitch black out there so it cooked a bit too long.

True, but a majority of people would buy one if they were sold to fit their systems, and usually they cater to sumps only. It's an untapped market in a way
 
I'm so in awe of all these colors and beaty in salt water . can wait til i can finally get some corals !!! p.s Packers Won against them VikQueen's
Nice! I didnt get to finish watching that one. Yeah I agree with you about the colors. It's mind-boggling how beautiful they are and watching them grow is a proud feeling. Sometimes it's hard for me to stop looking at them honestly
