Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
coffee time here...then roof time...cut a slot in the top of the roof ridge and then install the lomarco ridge vent, will increase ait flow through the roof..and the few rows of tile on either side of it and then the main roof will be done...3000 square feet plus of roof will be done.
The new tank swap is getting closer.....closer....come closer....BAM
 
By the way Amanda I vote Midas Blenny and/or Chalk Bass ..... Mostly I've always wanted a Chalk Bass but Im worried about it's lifespan, I'm reading 1 to 2 years which seems very short.
 
what !!! more details if you want me to help....
Its all good it was just that the surge protector it was plugged into stopped working.
 
did the UV blow the surge protector because it is drawing to much power?
No i think the surge protect is just old and cheap I replaced it with a much better one that I had.
 
5 pounds of catalytic carbon got here. Now I can add two more filter stages to my rodi for making tank water..Making it a 12 stage system...
The new whole house water softener and water treatment works great. I had them add a 1/4 output valve so I could hook up the tank rodi to it.
What a difference, I am not burning through anion/cation resin or mixed resin like I used to..
 
looks like ATI X lights will be available in USA soon...Totally want these...

That is pretty! I am so far behind in aquarium tech. I have a new tank and the lights aren't even up yet. My new lights are ATI 8 bulb T5. One day I will catch up with the LED crowd and have sleek lights.
