Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Brine shrimp eggs are amazing, i have a small container of the eggs from when i was 10 and they still hatch.
Really!? That is incredible. I guess I wont worry about refrigerating these eggs then.


I tried to hatch them when I was a kid using table salt and tap water. It did not work.
 
I found a dead mexican turbo snail in my tank just now and it has obviously been dead a while. I pulled it out and man was it foul. The tank water smells too, and I cant find my scooter blenny😞

I changed a few gallons of water overdosed the carbon and added a bubbler in case there was an ammonia spike. Hoping this helps.

I added these 2 big turbos when my tank fist started growing algae. No more big snails for me.
 
Sorry guys, just got back from the AZ Game and Fish Outdoor Expo. It cost me $5 for me and $5 for my son. All we got to do was shoot a .300 AAC, a .308, a 6.5MM PRC, a 12 gauge, and a couple of 5.56 and 9MM rifles (plus a couple of pistols - .45 and 9MM).
sounds like fun...not a fan of 45 or 9mm....dont own any...the girl loves her 9mm though...I put her through some light training w me and a few of the team for fun when we go to sherrif range to practice.
She can hit golf ball w a 9mm at 45-50 feet away...she is not even as good as all the team members I trained
but for a girly girl she can hold her own...lol..love it when she out shoots the sherrifs squad when they come run the hot house with us...lol

Beautiful bike, didn’t they used to dominate motorcycle racing years ago?
