What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Only two pieces of bacon? 😢
Bacon comes in single serving packages. A pound is a single serving right?? At least it is in my household!
 
Mr_knightley glad you are here! Just a group of people who enjoy each other’s company and enjoy helping and encouraging each other. Sometimes we make fun of each other, anything for entertainment. Don’t go back and read everything, just jump in and you will be welcomed.
You were purposely making fun of me ! 😩 Lol !! 😆
 
I don't agree with the multitudes that API are bad. I've never gotten a bad reading from fresh reagents. I only have two issues with them. It can be very hard to figure out the colors correctly and some of them can be less precise than we normally require (phosphate).
Hi Tom !

Hi Kevin !
 
I've got all of my angels at the smallest possible sizes to avoid aggression, all except the bicolor who is about 3". All others are about an inch, and I'd like to add any remaining ones before my current crew gets any bigger lol. Shelling it out for a CB golden is going to be hard though bahahahaha
CB ?
