What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So I got everything transferred over but haven’t mounted anything. I just wanted to get it in the new tank.

Lights are almost out so it’s quite blue!

we've had storm into April. and early October. years ago they cancelled Halloween because of a big storm. power lines were everywhere so they canceled halloween and moved it to the weekend but really just created two nights of trick or treating!.

Now that would be a sight to see. Snow storms and running around trick or treating

everyone would be dressed like Olaf

it melts pretty quick. the issue is when the leaves are still on the trees or emerging. the wet snow really is heavy and snaps and downs trees easily. those are the long durations outages of days.

It’s doing great, thanks for asking! Looks much more mature than it is.
