Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Just remove some water and add JUST RO water.
That'll bring salinity down.
Been doing that. It's down now.
 
id be tickled if you make affordable lids! i know i would love some but they are expensive!
thats my plan, affordable !!!!
I look forward to any ideas anyone has, send me them.. affordable and new updated ideas, also personalized lids options...since I have a 300 gallon and have had tanks for 20 years I have good ideas what we all need. Shopping materials prices now thats a big factor in pricing...and figuring out how to maximize the number of lids per 8x4 sheet of polycarbonate and other materials...

sounds like youve got a good start
 
Had a good morning but a sad afternoon. One of my sisters passed today.
Verry sorry for the loss of your sisterm, Tom. Sending nothing but peaceful and calming energy to you and your family. Please reach out if you need someone to talk to as you have my number.
 

Hip, hip, hooray!

(I like that you barely show up here, for months, then show up and grab the coveted 100K mark. Some might say that's nearly thiefish. Not me, though. I'd say that's well played! (Thief!))

I'm so sorry for your loss, friend... Grief is a feeling that no one wants to feel, but it is a reminder of how much we loved and cherished that person. Praying for you through this difficult season. 🫂
 
It is! Its from my favorite little place down the road. Its been a rough day and I needed a treat. A friend and coworker lost his battle with cancer Saturday so we are all sad, then another friend and coworker told me tomorrow is her last day here so that made it even worse but I don't blame her she's going to a place making a lot more money with better benefits.
Ugh, I hate to hear that. So sorry for your loss as well. Hopefully, you were able to have some self-care yesterday!
