Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Had a visitor to my tree this morning. They're are a lot of these guys here but this is the first time I had one where I could get a video.

Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers) not only did you spot you filmed the first sighting of the ivory billed woodpecker pecker that was last sighted in 1944 in Louisiana and has been declared extinct! Contact the Audubon Society! You’ll make the National news and be revered by birders everywhere. You can be the first to name it, hows Woody sound as a name?

No you got it right it’s Chica.
No matter what I tell you you’ll get it wrong just like the Michigan bit . I actual like CB that kingranch 2003 listed . ”Coldwell bankers “. Never thought about that before . That’s pretty good . I like that !! 😎

To give my two cents, I already participated in the donation, and if R2R were to take any money from it, I honestly wouldn't care, although I know they don't. I can tell you that even though I haven't been here very long, all of the R2R staff have more than proven themselves trustworthy. Besides, they're even giving away prizes because, depending on the donation amount, you get a certain number of tickets for a raffle, in which I won a $250 SBB gift card last year.
The cooking with Kev podcast team is leading our own toy drive. With the money we make some lucky kid will get a Waterbox 150.4 with all the equipment. We here are looking forward to all the Smorgasbord’s generous donations as well as the rest of R2R! 😉

I’ve always admire people who put a drain near or under the tank . Boy would that help .

What size is your sump and who made it ?. And are those black mangroves in your sump ? .
 
Nice view of your fishing hangout . 😎
Thanks! If you notice the sea grass, that's Least Tern nesting area. A small sea bird that lives on the Mississippi Sound.
 
so I had to run to Ace Hardware since my wood glue was a bit solidified. I am totally shocked that I live in Maine and I had to wait for a parking spot because hoards of people are lined up buying snow shovels. Seriously? does everyone throw out their shovel at the end of every season? The warning is for only 4-7", (though wunderground is projecting 10").
