Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Georgie and IT the clown from the movie an books made by Steven King 😊
I just started the Mike Flanagan series adaptation of Carrie. Right before that it was Castle Rock and Welcome to Derry. I highly recommend them all if you're a King fan like I am!
 
Better in what way CB? It is mainly lanthanum chloride and you don't want that it to work much faster than it does.
Be careful using it if you have tangs in your tank...They do not do well with it...
 
Steve is that better than phosphate E ??? Also from brightwell ?
Different things. He's adding phosphate, Phosphat E removes phosphates.
 
Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven’t been very active I have been so busy the last few days.But I have so much to share with you all!! Here’s some new corals we got for the shop.
Second picture I found this guy in a tank today.We had no idea he was there!
We’re getting our water set up and ready for the 500 gal which is looking good there’s a snail living in there moving around !!
We found the leapord orange an white crab shell in a tank as well again had no idea he was there ..just a shell now tho
I’m doing a science experiment 🔬🧫 trying to revive some kinda dead corals I found an also try bringing some back from practically skeletal bone.And I found those two corals at the bottom in our 360 which again had no idea.
Reason why we had no idea is we have a couple tanks that people couldn’t handle anymore or had problems an we took them over to fix or to have.So we always are finding cool new things under rocks or just in the sand One time we got a live oyster I’ll have to find pictures we still have him!
