Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
When is it coming? Where did you order from?
It should be here with 5 other fish in 3-4 weeks. I got it from Dr.Reef.
 
I don't understand what this whole gummy thing is that is everywhere. sushi, burgers etc...
It’s the THC in it that makes it taste exactly what it’s supposed to be shaped at but it takes a couple first.
 
For anyone who is interested:

I saw all the talk about heaters, power failures and pump failures.

Here is a product I have used on my 300 gallon RO tank. It could be a good and semi-inexpensive solution for determining a pump failure. The company also makes other products that could be used for the hobby.

This is interesting. Am I to assume that if the power fails and the sump water rises I will get an alert? Even if I am living elsewhere?..
 
Darn typos 😆
I do it all the time . And someone always get me for it . I hate it when you type on the phone and it changes what you type to something totally different .

Its annoying but funny at times.

This is what they claim . It goes to where your phone is .
 
Supper time a nice cold chicken salad I made on a bed of lettuce. I wanted butter lettuce but they were out at the store so I settled for iceberg.

I think you have the same fine china that we have!😋
 
It says if it fails two consecutive check-ins it will alert you to investigate.
How often are the check ins?
That looks really nice Shelley and a great selection of piscine pals. You should show your tank more often.
You may be right. And thanks so much for the praise. I admit the Yellow tang, who was added last, is sometimes a bully to the CBB.
Mornin Rock, how's the weather? Looking forward to more pics of your tank.

I put my 40 Breeder on a 75 stand so I have two 6" side tables on the stand, similar idea to your stand. I like it a lot.
I admit to probably cluttering up one side. But love the concept
I think there is a key word in there that may be an issue. Maybe not but it says 'two DAILY check-ins...'. If I take that at face value if the power failed on Saturday it wouldn't tell you until Monday. It may not mean that but I would get clarification.
This exactly. Maybe one can set them?
 
Is the painting every really finished?


This is why I have not yet started my list. Heck, I haven't even finished my list for all the construction work I will have to do.
List? Who needs a stinking list? Just start buying. You need lights, skimmer, sand, rocks, lid and don't forget the things with idiot lights! Got to have them flashy little things. 🤣

I like the way you think Shelley!
 
@Calmwaters How's the back?
I really thought I was going to have some problems last night and today but not too bad. 35 bags of mulch. made the kids drag them but I had to shake it out and that was getting to me. (great, now I have Shake it Off in my head 🙄)
I don't shake the mulch out anymore. Just plop the bags where I need them up on end and slice them open. I do the same with bags of concrete in a wheelbarrow. Glad you had them helpers.
