Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Did you buy anything good?
Nah. Wanted to look at a vehicle but it was gone already. Looked at a couple of gun dates but the code didn't work on the one I was interested in.

We are going to a flea market tomorrow where there are normally several people selling rifles some are older ones and some are newer ones.
 
Well, it looks like I’m going to miss releasing the raccoons tomorrow. My son knows an amazing place to release them, about a mile hike in Millcreek park systems that ends at a creek. Far from any roads. I was going to play the song born free as we released them. Millcreek park is an absolute gem.

Are you going to release them by the Davis center ?
 
Why are you missing it . Were you invited ?
I’m to sick, I was looking forward to it, his father went to high school with me and him and his wife have been my wife and I’s friends for ever.
 
Are you going to release them by the Davis center ?
No it’s part of the Metro park system, not attached to the main park and kinda in the boonies! I hope we taught them well. I’m sure they are going to miss the Ritz Carlton!
 
Meant to ask earlier. Actual reef question in the midst of the other stuff. I’m starting to get bubble algae , apparently out of nowhere. Should I get emerald crabs, pithos or something else?
Emerald crabs never failed me but I’ve read pithos are better, maybe faster?

Forgot to mention I have both emeralds and pithos in my tank currently even though I haven’t had bubble algae in years. You could used both. A double barrel shotgun approach.
