Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
If the R2R Toy Drive was already closed, I agree but I don't want to have any chance that someone would avoid the real toy drive.
Well made point and noted. Way to make me feel like a big turd as if I ever need any help in that department.
 
Snacks from a local apple orchard that also has a bakery provided by our Medical Director today. I give up my diet is over until after the holidays...

That's my point.
A famous name starts an endless pyramid scheme. I understand that exclusivity comes at a price, but if you bought it for $50, how does that price reach $1500?
I have no proof, but I also have no doubt that this does more harm than good to the hobby, and that's why many either never start or give up because anyone can change the name of a coral this days and make it inaccessible to many.
Well I’m ashamed, I’m not going to say what I paid for this one but a home equity loan was involved.

I just logged in to GoFundMe to make a donation. I received a message that your account was shut down for fraud.
Ya that was my old one I’ll pm you the new one ! 😉
 
Is it one in the same ? Go fund me account that is .
No no, toy drive is for a poor child who is an orphan, has a long list of health problems and doesn’t have health insurance. No family or friends, his dog is the only one in his life and it was hit and killed by a car last month. All he wants is a Waterbox 150.4 for Christmas.😢

Reminds me of Tiny Tim
 
Question for you reef experts, My dKH is slowly creeping downward. It is now down to 8.9. I like it in the 9.5 to 10 range. A little over view: I dose AFR, BRS magnesium (stopped), and RedSea No Pox. This creeping down is a trend that I cannot reverse with the AFR since my mag and calcium are border line to high. I do 4 gallon water changes a week with I.O reef crystals. The dKH of a new batch is around 10 to 10.5, I guess my tank is consuming the dKH at a faster rate now. Would you dose kalkwasser ?
 
I will need to watch that. I think I have but forgot that John Denver was in that.
Ya, you wouldn’t have been born for another 10 years after it came out. John Denver was the main character that god ( George Burns) reveals himself to.
