Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
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?
Don't use petco/imaginarium carbon Paul!
Pick up some fluval.
That's what I use.
Works well, comes in its own bag.
Sorry brother 😞
Reading this late as usual...
 

Dozey Dubs a band from Boise. Never heard Pink Floyd with a Reggae beat. I kind of like it. Just dropping it here for after dark. They were featured Saturday night at the Winter Festival in McCall,ID.

 
Um, Luis we don’t use the four letter “S” word on this family friendly forum. You’ll get a pass this time as I don’t think you understand how crushing it is to us northerners.
Yep very bad word 😕
 
I got some rocks for my aquascape. They came in some massive pieces so I went out onto the grass with some cardboard and smashed them up into smaller pieces. I got reef cement and super glue and baking powder to put it together. Excited to see what I can come up with.

Leopard Wrasse
Chocolate Tang
One Spot Foxface
Brazilian Royal Gamma

Also I have a tiny teal mushroom that let go of is plug, if I put it in a cup with a rock do you think it will attach to the rock? So far it just seems to be getting blown around in the flow.
 
Yep! Limited-time item. The batter is done with their tortilla chips. I was skeptical when I tried them last year, but they are actually really good. Not to mention the sauces you can get with them are good.
After seeing the meals you guys make, I completely trust your judgement. Got em on the list!

Mine do that all the time.
I just let mine go with the flow if you will, but, if worried, tuck it somewhere out of the flow or turn the flow off where it is till it attaches.
Sometimes the small ones will blow around for awhile.
When I first got mine I put it in a crevice of a rock and sorta pushed it in there turned the flow off for a couple of days.

Fill the bottom with rocks and put shells on the sides that way if it takes it won’t add hear to the plastic cup
