Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Amazon brother. I mix that with reef roids, aminos and fermented fish sauce
I could go for a big bowl of that, if sounds delicious!
 
Apparently, my filter disconnected somewhere between work and home. However, at least what I type is funny..verge of inappropriate..at least in my feeble mind
It's freaking hilarious 😂
 
string them together! 🤣
Tried. They melt pretty quick, then you have to break away to go get more. Bobbing around like carrying a sword in a dark room
 
The good news is there are plenty of Subways here in AZ so when he moves he can just transfer. And I don't mean those dangerous subways like in New Jersey. Of course, in their defense, the light at the end of the tunnel there is New York.
So right Tim!
I've been trying to get "in" with corporate all year, hoping when we move I'd have somewhere to work!!
We're heading to Arizona for a major visit next year, maybe sooner...
 
I do love Kessil. I ran two a360x over my 40 breeder. I would have had to bought three more for adequate coverage on my new tank. So I went with Meridians. However, as soon as Quanta releases his Altair, I’m ditching the Meridians
Yes the Altair! That's the light I want on the new tank if I stick with corals.

Reefbreeders meridian WAS my first choice.
 
Beautiful tanks Amanda. I assume you have a dedicated house ahem fish room for them?
Thank you! They are actually all in my living room except for the one I have in my office at work. When I'm sitting in my recliner I can see all of my aquariums.
 
John, your procrastination is killing us all…
Haha oh I completely understand. Imagine my torture. I'm tired of looking at it sitting there empty, but I'm having a blast with the 40 gallon. It's on a great run right now. I hope these new millepora, I ordered last night, make it. I swore off Acros for a while, but that didn't last 😆

I know what I'm having for lunch whenever I find myself in Casa Grande!
I think there is another one in Chandler somewhere.
