Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Iguana Juice ?
That’s what you’re feeding your garden ?
I have frozen Iguanas shipped to my door and I thaw, run them through a meat grinder, and feed.
You can buy pre ground in a jug but whats the fun in that, lol!

On a more serious note. I use this from start to finish. I have found no need for the grow version.
I grow everything but the Pumpkin organically.
I have used this for many years.

I'm supposed to be off today. I got a call at 3 o'clock this morning that they needed me. We were running out of water - and fast! Took us 3 hours to track down the culprit because it was onsite at one of the industrial customers warehouses and they didn't know anything was happening. We lost close to 1 million gallons in just at 3 hours and our city's pressure dropped to almost nothing because the leak was so bad.

Oh man that's awful! Glad you found it.

Yeah, my Deputy Director brought out the drone and we flew it over a couple of sites and saw a lake in the back. Sounds like they might not have been planning on notifying us...

That's just irresponsible!

Maybe they should install a leak detector. Do you have a spare Hydros and rope sensor?
