Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Started a grow out tank for brine shrimp today in an extra 5 gallon I had with some of the babies I still had from the first hatch. Also started a fresh batch in the BRS hatchery!
Awesome! I want to know how this goes. Do you have the spirulina powder Amanda?

Yes I bought it when I ordered the hatchery. I put in just a little of it and a little bit of phytoplankton.
 
I made a stand for my protein skimmer and I think its working better now. The cup isn't overflowing yet and it's been on a good 20 minutes.

That looks a lot better, well done Amanda!
 
Thanks Amanda, you rock! How did you find it so fast?
Did an advance search using your user name and scrolled through them until I found one titled Biocube 32 gallon build.
 
Now I remember why I just post questions I have her with you guys. Too many opinions confuse me.
I was about to say geez you don't trust us anymore 😂
 
Does anyone know how I can find a link to my Biocube 32 build, @Gumbies R Us ?
Hey Kev, you should edit your first post on your current build thread and add a link to the bottom of that post for your other builds. My first post on each of my build threads has links to previous builds.
