Additional Aquarium Information

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

Good morning Tim! <tips hat>

I had a $200 gift certificate from Live Aquaria so I ordered two small (1"-2") Halichoeres Chyrsus. I ordered two just because I've heard horror stories about Live Aquaria. I was just going to use the gift certificate for dry goods, but then I saw the Yellow Coris were on sale. I think the delivery date is Friday. They haven't sent shipping info yet.
 
We had some sleet/snow this morning as well. It was 22 degrees! I'm ready for warmer weather.
Ya 22 degrees but feels like 11 this morning. You would think that Mother Nature would be back on her meds by now! Oh well, 10 days I’ll be in the sunshine state!

Hopefully they come through on time, I'm not brave enough to use them after all the fiasco. Last few complaints I saw was how bad the packaging was.
 
my new phyto cultures get here tomorrow
Algaebarn threw in a free bottle of live phyto as part of a promotion so I've been trying it out, dosing once a day at night past week but not sure what to expect. Don't exactly see any difference yet. I keep it in the fridge as instructed and agitate once a day.

Ahhh, Georgia weather, where you have to dress in a way to shed clothes as the day gets warmer and warmer.
 
Good morning y'all and Happy Taco Tuesday! May your taco Tuesday harvest be bountiful!

Throw it in a tortilla and we'll count it 😅
Funny enough, I have done that before. I ran out of hot dog buns, so I threw a hot dog inside a tortilla. Needless to say, it wasn't good.
