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

@kingranch2003 and @kevgib67 I have a confession. While the brine shrimp hatchery does a great job I didn't like that I had to wait for the shrimp to swim to the little cup so I could harvest them I wanted to be able to havest all of them at once time so I ordered this one hopefully it will be here next week.

Let me know how it works! I was drawn to the no plugs needed aspect of the brs hatchery. And the cup usually has like 30 billion of them in it at a time lol.

I could see why you would want them all at once though if you're planning to grow them out like you are

Well that and I have so many mouths to feed I can easily feed them all at once. Lol my dwarf puffers will love them as well as all the others!
 
@tbrown @Imrahilwjz

Dont you guys basically have your own versions of display sumps?

I was talking with my friend @SaltRookie78 about them and I was wondering if you guys had any advice or thread links to yours.
 
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.
Haha I thought this was @ShakeyGizzard posting until I reread the name!
