Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
11 pages missed today. Maybe I'll catch up. Maybe I won't. Either way, I am still going to create the theme of "alcohol" from all the mentions of what people were drinking in high school.


Have you ever seen a blue nerdz, lol?
High school was beer school but I related to this song more.

Picked me up some legal "blue nerdz" yesterday, lol.

Nice. Yesterday was back, traps, and bicepts. Monday chest, shoulders, and triceps wednesday legs.

After years of 10% a week I now do 5% a month for the last few years.
With 350g's total volume of my systems thats 18g's a month vs 140g's.
I will never go back to the old 10% rule, lol.
Religiously did 10to15 gallons a week on my 100 for years.
Busiest summer ever for me, can't seem to find the time so haven't done one in weeks it seems 🙃
Fish and all seem a okay...

Give 5% a month a shot. Its now very managable.
I have gone as long as 1.5 years without a WC with no negative effects.
I just use the once a month to remove what cant be tested for or what may buildup in the syatem
 
Good Morning Peeps! heat wave is starting. already got the heat values will be 110 by Friday. this will be a humid unbearable heat unlike AZ that feels like the AC is on.
If by AC you mean Air Fryer, then yes, yes it will.
 
Get ready for some yankee complaining about the heat!

We're only going to be a high of 102 today. It was cold enough my wife and kids decided to go kayaking with a bunch of friends this morning.

Biopellets seem to be doing their job.
Not much left in the tank the butterflies haven't scrounged...
Goodness they're the best clean up crew I've ever had...

Very, very mild summer for us so far.
2 days in the 80's, rain for the next few days...
Maybe golf this afternoon 🤔...

I've only golfed once since "The Incident". I need to get out but over 100° every day and 30%+ humidity and going up with monsoon season rolling in makes it somewhat sticky and no fun if you're out past about 9:30.
