Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have a secret recipe too, it involves a credit card and driving to either your local pizza joint or bbq joint to get some wings, haha.

On serious note I would love to create my own wing sauce and learn how to do some good grilled wings (prefer those over fried)
Mango habanero would be great if I could actually make it.
 
Beautiful fish!
Thanks Rev! I've been after this fish for a while now. He's active and beautiful, eating right out of the bag!
 
Morning everyone, going to be a Hi and Bye. have some stuff do today, Got something coming up in a couple weeks I have to get ready for.
Take care Jimmy
 
My nitrates test post was at the bottom of the page. Im gonna repost them here.
I accidentally overdosed solution two on the darker one. Not sure if that'll affect test results. Going to do more tonight.

Yes! You got a test Cam. This is a great day in reefing! You have succeeded in getting your nitrates where you want them. Looks like 10 or less? Great work brother
 
Thanks for the recipe Kev. @kevgib67 It came out great right down to using white porcelain China!

Ohh.... hot wings are my jam! Just need a cold beer sitting there beside that fine China Paul.
 
Realized? You don't know what you ordered? 🤪 🤨🤣
Im not even sure what I was trying to say there Rock lol. Sam kept me up all night jamming tunes, so I was probably just sleep deprived.

Only problem is... GHA loves it. But I've halted its growth for now with my secret technique. Guessing high P04 or its outcompeting corals?
 
Love em!! Im trying to negotiate one right now. I have a friend that has several for sale. If you're interested I can get you a price.
