Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Wish I could tell you man... I'll have my license soon so I'll get a job and start buying more test kits. P04 is low though.
How do you know when to stop doing the water changes? All you need for nitrates right now is a bottle of cheap test strips. They will give you a good enough idea what your nitrates are. You do water changes for a certain reason brother. You dont want to be spinning your wheels for no reason Cam

I just do water changes for getting my nitrates down and I'm gonna try and do weekly water changes smaller then I'm doing now.
 
Alright, you kids have been patient. Rainbow pectinia and a white zombie zoa, not completely open. Wow the colors on the white zombie, I’ve never seen one in person. The picture doesn’t come close to seeing it with your own eyes. Got to figure out where to put it, I don’t want it overtaken by the pink playboy bunnies. I know they are slow growers.

My point exactly. You've been doing big water changes for a while now. You dont want to bottom out your nutrients. Once you reach your target goal on N03, you can adjust your water change frequency and volume. If they aren't dropping with water changes, you may need to address filtration

Yep. I'm just working nonstop to get my tank ready to go for something big.
 
@kevgib67 Man, I fell for the joke hook, line, and sinker. I thought you were really getting the Xenia and stuff. Lol now you know for sure that Im your friend because I was trying to be nice about it. Inside I was thinking, "Kevin wants to punch someone for this"
 
A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church, by hand.

He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript.
So, the new monk goes to the Old Abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up!
In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.

The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."


http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ikLrOqA_wgs/Up0MRLBybwI/AAAAAAAAdWY/sLFnqA3XcZE/s1600/1c.jpg




He goes down into the dark caves
underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives, in a locked vault that hasn't
been opened for hundreds of years.
Hours go by and nobody sees the Old Abbot.



http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JooMp6UNAac/Up0MROpqroI/AAAAAAAAdWU/KllUO-j7QTw/s1600/1d.jpg


So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him.
He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing.


"We missed the
R!
We missed the
R!

We missed the bloody
R!



His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.

The young monk asks the old Abbot, "What's wrong, father?"


With a choking voice, the old Abbot replies,

"The word was ...

You know Chris, it’s people like you that give people like you a bad name! 🤔
I knew you would understand because you’re so understanding like that.
