Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Let's not talk about this. I just spend 2 hrs pulling bone and blood out of people!
Replied to wrong post, this is for @kevgib67 , I suffered from it , basically after my gall bladder was removed. It was not chronic, but constipation was not in my dictionary then. I have had a problem with cheese sticking my butt cheeks together up until the surgery, I could divulge in all the cheese I desired, but that has changed over the years.
 
A great one if you're only gonna have one. Do you collect vinyl Steve?
Gave/Sold it all. I haven’t owned a turntable/stereo set up for several years.
 
What happened? I missed it.
the order i placed from Coral Monsters was basicaly dead before it was shipped to me. I will have to add the red favia has been looking good today, but that about it

Sometimes the 10 year old in me makes an appearance.

Oh wow that's awful!
 
It seems only the Yankee's are getting hit with the double whammy from Taco Bell
Yeah, no. I wouldn’t touch a Taco Bell anything with a twenty foot pole. Plenty of decent and even reasonably priced options.

That's because we have Southern food and have no need to subject ourselves to that chalky misery!
 
Good afternoon fellow smorgs and smorgettes! Just woke up a short while ago after crashing for most of the day. In contrary to my usual mantra , sleep is not highly overrated 🙃
Good afternoon Steve ( I don’t know why I keep doing that! 😡 )!

The shrooms are dead, basically they are coming apart, lost cause, the below pic's are the two favia. They are in my new 20g AIO for now. Will transfer to the established 20 gallon since its still up and running to keep the snails happy.

first pic you can see the dead/alive sections, will say they are big, about the size of a coffee cup TOP
this pic is with an orange filter, my new tank i just turned the lights on

Yeah that's a shame man. I'd have to contact them. A gift card is supposed to be a promotion for the business, not a punishment to the winner. The red favia is fire though. If you can stop the recession and keep the skeleton from growing algae, it should encrust back over those areas.
