Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Leaving to get blood work, kinda nervous because I’ve been feeling off all week. Supposed to go to Fragginstein in Cleveland with them Saturday. It’s all they have been talking about all week and I don’t want to trade it for a hospital bed. 🤞
Fingers crossed for you. They have to figure this out.
 
Can anyone tell me what is going on in this massive thread?
These guys are nuts. 🤣 They talk tanks, fish sports and music. And post their meals. And recipes, gardens and pets. Their children's accomplishments and moms visiting. I am sure I left out something
 
Doesn't Paul B do this? I would be in in knowing if it helps. I am a bit paranoid and OCD. I wouldn't sleep worrying about the bad things I would possibly bring in. Not saying that it would happen. Just saying I would stress to much personally.

But if you do I would be curious of the outcome. Would live rock have the same benefits?

Paul B would say do it!
The water seems to have more of a quick impact on the corals themselves, and have really began to quickly and naturally drop my nutrients. It has honestly been quite crazy to watch. I find myself getting excited for water change day!
 
@kingranch2003 were you going to purchase one of those fungias? Is that a good price do you think? 🤔 I want one.
Im not going to buy one right now, but I believe thats a somewhat fair market price for them. I paid a touch more for sweetlips, but Ive never seen any quite like the ones I sent you!
 
You have given this a lot of thought. Good luck.

Are you going to be buying a new fungia?
Yes definitely! I may see if my two dead ones spawn any babies first. My tank has to have some plates!

Good afternoon Kevin. I'm surely hoping you get some good news and will be headed to Cleveland soon my friend!
 
I proxied for a guy once in college when I needed some money. He got tagged for DUI and had to serve a day in jail. I used his ID and went in his place. Made $50.00. Maybe you can get a proxy for the blood work?

Good luck Kev and hope you get encouraging results.
I knew you were the real deal Tom.

Thanks, I didn't want to step on your toes. But going to order one when I get off this mountain.

You could bottle it and sale it. When should I put in my order? 🤣

Thanks John and good afternoon!
