Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have a question for all you guys that have 3D printers. I would really like some hang on the back plant holders for my freshwater aquariums. Is that something any of you can do? I have bought several but they don't fit the rim of my tanks and the ones with a suction cups are a joke and always fall which is super annoying.
Doesn't work the best, but this is what my wife and I printed for our Pothos.

Can you show me a picture when you get a chance of how the pothos go in it?
 
Since it's late I'm the day I'm enjoying a cup of dunking decaf.
Late in the day??? I just finished a Cold Brew. Full strength and delicious!

@tbrown and I both get strains from Reef Plantation
I got some from TSA. Theirs crashed early and fast. Reef Plantation and Reef Legend are good, potent, and healthy/alive. TSA stuff was bottled almost a month before they shipped it so it was likely almost sterile when I received it.

I stopped running Phyto a while ago. I'm waiting until I have time to build a stand for my 8 gallon and I'll potentially restart some cultures.

It's upside down for printing but we snip a cutting off and drop it in. The leaves stay above the rim and the stem goes down into the water. I can't get a picture right now because it's severely overgrown. 😬

It was i think 7:00 for me if I have coffee after with caffine after about 5 it messes with my sleep.

Can you print them in black? 😆

I don’t drink it after noon for the same reason. When I was young ( can you believe it?) I liked to have one after dinner.

I sleep terribly regardless! So I have a coffee whenever I feel like one 😅
 
Love love love your scoly in the leftz!
Buy one Kevin, and try fragging it. I've heard its do-able but they take a LONG time to reheal and get that round shape again.

Once you frag it, send me one 🤣
