Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Just rolled out of bed. Getting ready to make a coffee. Not sure what it'll be yet - I think French Toast and Andes Mint are the next two in line. For the record, they are flavored beans, no sugar or cream still.
Good morning Tim!

Have an open house and birthday party to attend. I hope you all have a great Saturday.
I’ll leave you with a couple random pics I just took.

We're building window screens, then going to see the puppy, then going bowling, then on to a graduation party.

In other news, my new watch should be here today at some point and my new light for my new ATS should be here Tuesday.
 
Morning my friends!
Three more days of work....
Not feeling it today...
Enjoy your Saturday!
Do something fun today...
Peace ✌️
Good morning Joel, hang in there friend.
 
Go watch a Magic game in person and grab a Handel's while you're at it...
I did have season tickets for regular season but they are out of the playoffs . I’m in South Orlando and handles is north east . It would probably be 40 minutes to get to there . It all depends on traffic. I just found this place last week and will probably go tomorrow if I can .

It's worth it...?

Sugar is only good on cookies and ice cream but you should try with a little cream .
 
Jimmy don’t you have a pumpkin plant ?
no, I have bell peppers, cow horn peppers, frisco peppers, jalapeno peppers, 5 color Chinese peppers, hopefully Aji peppers, okra, tomatoes, squash, egg plant and last but not least, a 7 year old asparagus bed. My 2 plum trees lost there blooms from the late cold weather at the first of the year, no plums for me this year

Just noticed my first tomato this morning, about the size of a dime.

I don't think the Aji cristal peppers I got from John are going to make it, my soil PH is in range and the amendments to it are spot on. I think i have to much nitrogen in my soil. The stem started growing in a cork screw pattern and I have lost 8 of the 16 plants.

Did you decide on a name yet?
 
Morning Rock, how's the tank doing?
It’s pretty much just on autopilot. I clean the glass every few days, feed the fish daily, feed corals every other day… besides that, I have my dosing dialed in. I top off my ATO too. Nothing major

So… just a SWAG here, but you like peppers?

We’ve seen your tomato plants Kevin, that’s called a bud!
