Additional Aquarium Information

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

Got a new machine to replace the old one for my CPAP luckily it was under warranty. So I should be good. (in case anyone was worried or curious.

I also finally got the prizes I won from cherry corals in the mail! :D

I got a moonshiners ICP test and a seachem Impulse 800 pump. I may just use the pump for water changes for now

I got a better picture of shadow and lightning in the tank now.

Mine saw the last train out of town because he almost completely murdered my scoly! Completely unexpected behavior from the TSB

Was he heading to Clarksville?



Im not going to lie man. I had to Google that. So glad I did.
Really? Seriously? You just lost 1/2 of your man card.

I hope they feel better soon... Thankfully everyone else is ok in my family, i'm the only one left.
See... SoCal men.

Happy to hear you got a new machine.

 
This is what I ended up going with for now. I did a 5 hour peek photo period with two hours of ramp up and 3 hours ramp down. This should give me around 350-450 on the rock work during peek times. The front sand bed is higher par as well.

Looks good. Just watch the corals and see how they react my friend.
