Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So mad scientist that I am, I managed to get the ReefBeat/Reefled connected to the WiFi . I am using the Reefled for a few days to see if it makes a difference. In any case, I’ve been toying with the idea of looking for some Photons. I know it’s going backwards but I really liked them when I had them. Any thoughts?

Good Goni growth for one. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t seem to get a spectrum/strength of the Meridian that all the corals like.
I have a crocea clam under my reefi light. And a goni. I have no idea what I am doing with it. It's on and things are alive and thriving. Maybe this winter I will mess with it.

Give things longer than a week to adjust. Maybe a couple months.
 
I am skipping over about 20 pages. Just to busy. Sorry.

The pyramid is still in quarantine. I believe it has an eye infection so will be addressing that tomorrow. Had to wait for a fresh supply of Maracyin. Other than that he is doing great.

Garden is loving the cooler temperatures.

Been working to get the loft ladder painted before installing it. Rocky has surgery next week. Might finish later. Took it to our garage for painting. Using a deep Hammered brown color.

Very excited over this loft ladder. It's on an 8 foot rail. Out of the way when not in use. Stands flush with the wall when not being used. Then rolls out at an angle to be used. And has hand rails like a ships ladder.

know which rock? could just place that rock in a bucket and hyper/hypo it?
It’s full of frogs and hammers. I’m being patient, it took almost 2 weeks to get the stone crab.

Best through good, quality headphones. Well, actually, most music is but this type especially.


I've never heard this sober before. Great stuff Chris!
