Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater is another beast of a song clocking in at 42mins long
Great song! An argument could be made for Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull. It's one continuous piece over both sides of the record. Over 43 minutes long!
 
Who was it here that has an orphek light? Can you show me your screen of how its set up? I put mine over in manual this weekend and its been messed up every since and no matter what I do its not ruining at the right times.
I have the Natura. "ruining at the right times?" 🤭
 
Late reply but I get a pretty generous amount of PTO plus a smaller discrete sick time. Plus when the fiscal year changes in January we can buy back a goodly chunk of the PTO(down to 40 hrs). This year I opted to buy back 160 hrs (have 212 right now)
I reach my 10th year anniversary at my job so I get 180 hours PTO and earn an avg of 9 hrs a month throughout the year. It's a pretty sweet incentive for longevity.

lets bring back the T-Rex

 
grow out for pods?
I started a bigger pod culture! I actually forgot the tell yall. So far I find the culture almost bulletproof. Pods crawling around everywhere
 
@Calmwaters so I need to figure out what my passwords are to log in again. I already tried...Kevin, Nerd, Buckeye but all failed. what specifically do you need? I run mine 8:30a-8:30p. but think it's synced time zone. I don't do the moon phase so I can enjoy no light. I can't remember if I just did a pre-set or not. it's been so long.
 
Hi Jimmy!
what's up Tom, I have been absent lately, did have some time for the Giveaways earlier, busy schedule for me with spending time with my sister and getting ready for a bathroom remodel
 
what screen, the app ? at this point my light is still in the box, but i do have the app
Its the app settings that I need to see. I like the helius program setting it has but have been having issues with it running.

This is what it looks like right now, I want it to run from 8:30am-8:30pm. Just trying to make sure its right before going to GA to hunt again tomorrow morning.

I love the light but the app is not very user friendly...

I do have the extruded aluminum and brackets to make a mount for my 40B, but everything seems to be good with the K7's I have on it now. I would hate to mess it up.

Not much. Let's see, crashed my Porsche into the garage door frame, bought a 75 gallon tank for something, not sure what yet, tried to crash the lagoon by breaking free a pint or so of bubble algae that got into everything, contemplated setting up a 37 gallon Bergia tank but decided to stay with the dual 5 gallon setup, tried an experiment in reducing cholesterol intake by only have one egg for breakfast (that lasted exactly one day), played a few songs and said good morning a bunch of times. Tim tried to talk about reefs in this thread but we shot that nonsense down pretty quickly.

My wife and I have upped our fiber intake considerably lately (trying to get off the statin as it is causing some issues) and I told my wife today that if I get any more regular, I'll need an entertainment center in the loo, so a bathroom remodel may be in the cards soon for me as well.

How are you and your sister doing?

Wow, can't match that, but my sister is doing great, until you mention that she does not have her driving privileges back yet.

from what I remember, you put 2 fingers on the ramping graph and drag it to the time you want. if it's already at 12 hours, you drag the whole graph.
