Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Did I need a camera for my aquarium nope but it was cheap so why not!
Canes are nice but cameras are better 🤣 can you link the one you got?
 
Now pickup an orange filter?
Let's see how could I do that... it sticks to the mount on the side of the tank using a magnet maybe the magnet would be strong enough to go threw a thin lens...

YES, you need that for when you are at work so you can keep the OCD going. 🤭

I have one too. It's great that you can check and see if the water is still flowing and temp. which you might want to place a thermometer control that you can read in the screen too.
 
Walked through the wetlands to my shed. Mounted my tractor and it started just like it has since I bought it and it runs like a deer! Got the front, sides and 1/3 of the back. Didn’t want to disturb the pod of dolphins jumping around back there.

My temp is not right either. But I know if it’s lower the heater is not working. My glass I think is too thick for it.
