Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
They are very good. I've been fan for about 20 years or so. Sounds like you may not have been familiar with them.
Yep Id never heard them until Joel posted them. I made a Pandora station with them and got some awesome music from other bands too. I was hoping they were a 60s band. 60s French psychedelic rock is fantastic. (Says John)
 
Getting geared up early since its going to be a pepper season coming up, @kingranch2003 hooked me up with some new types of peppers, I did my research on these through and through. will do my best to make good on my promise that everyone will get a taste of 3 or 4 kinds of sauce that I make. @Calmwaters I do remember you don't like your sauces too hot.

I cant wait to see you grow these bad boys. I bet you get some really nice peppers! I want to try your hot sauce on some fried fish.
 
It’s really cool. I can essentially turn off my skimmer, return pump, wave makers all off for 15 minutes while I feed my fish with a press of a button and it will automatically turn back on after the timer. If my PH or temperature gets too high or too low I will get a text. Also I can watch it changing. My fuge light automatically turns on and off and will auto turn off if it runs too hot. I will also be able to do automatic water changes (with a couple other pieces here soon). Also I can do it all on my phone from anywhere with WiFi lol. It’s something alright. It’s also really user friendly compared to Neptune I hear.

See I need more spots in the back of my AIO since my heater takes up too much room on one side of my IM 25 Gallon Lagoon lol & I have a floss & bio media holder on the other side. The other two spots are my Skimmer & Fuge basket. I honestly am find changing the filter floss but I would like a UV at some point.
