Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have already spoken to them through email and they told me just to place the second order and choose the add to existing order option in the shipping area.
Oh very nice! Thank you!
 
Did you guys know that if you place an order with corals.com and then device you want to add something else you can as long as your orders not shipped yet? So here's what I decided I just had to add on since my husband's giving me money for Valentines Day.
Call Jonathan at Corals.Com.

I’m guessing that . Sorry I probably already answered it before I said it . Just never heard of them . John , Kevin , and Joel have me into getting the large ones and I never heard of these .
They are also called button scolys.
 
Yea they are the ones that got me wanting one as well they are such influences not sure if it's good or bad influences yet... Lol I just loved the color of these two when I seen them and I had to have them.

I’m thinking of doing a massive water change tomorrow.
I'd say thats probably a really good idea! Cant have you quitting on us! 😁
 
I only have chemipure blue on hand.
Hmmm... it does have carbon... i'd probably throw it in there as well if it were me. Throw that in, do a massive water change and pull the chemipure back out before its fully rated time. I think carbon can release stuff after it gets fully saturated with impurities.
 
Might end up being a Fowler for a while if the elegance goes.
We're going to assume it's just cranky like Kevin when he has to wear "going out clothes" on a Saturday morning, before he's had a cup of coffee and checked in on the forum!

I’m gonna stop at PetCo first thing tomorrow and pick up some more chemipure and see what carbon they have. I’m wondering if I should grab some nutri seawater too to make it quicker changes?

If your not already mixing saltwater i'd consider it, that way its mixed well and less stressful. If petco doesnt have any good carbon, i'd say this event would justify a trip to Westbrook or topsham.
