Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

So just ordered a new Tunze ATO. over the past week it stopped filling. It works, just the low sensor does not. Took it out and soaked it in citric acid, cleaned it up and still not functioning. Had it for a little over 2 years and last cleaned it a little over 2 years. So on to the Tunze 3. I liked the Tunze 2 though. I've read the new pumps are loud.

Did you get in contact with Roger over at Tunze?
 
"Had"?

"Had"?

Good morning, all!

Apparently we all missed Monday and that's not such a bad thing. Whatever the case, I hope everyone "had" a magnificent Monday.


I hope everyone HAS a great Monday!!
Fixed it for you Chris!
 
Good morning everyone! Sorry about my absence for the past couple of days. Still recovering from all the Christmas shenanigans! Hope anyone had an amazing Christmas this year!

Let’s finish off this year strong! Just a couple more day left in the year, will you make a difference in someone’s life in the last few days of 2025?
Good morning Bailey! I try and make a difference in at least one person's day every day!
 
@Gumbies R Us funny thing with you wanting to explore stuff. Eons ago when I lived in Atlanta I was driving down West Paces Ferry in Buckhead and saw a new yellow Hummer parked in front of one of those mansions. I thought what "moron" would hand paint a black 3 on the side and ruin it.

 
Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers), you remembered! And please no gifts, you went overboard last year!
I'll return the Waterbox tank then Kev. Your words, not mine... remember that!

Happy Anniversary my friend! May you and the Mrs. have many, many more!
 
Just as I thought. You are clearly an over-achiever!
Hard to believe I was 23 yo and she was 22yo and we had been together for 5 years before the wedding.

That was such a great movie too!
