Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yep..I don't have time for all that political, which side is better-noise-fighting-name bashing either. It just breeds hate, lies, bribery, felonies and sometime murder. But they feed on this 3 ring circus acts and stir up issues with people to keep us divided...
It should be one side united for all, about our Country and every person in it.
There I said my 2 cents worth, sorry but Kingranch is right..it is all kindergarden nonsence,
My work is filled with enough bad stuff so that's why I have a big tank and a place to retreat to with my friends...

Probably the best I've ever heard it stated.

Leopard wrasses seem to like to hide more them others...
When we had one, she was more of a late morning to mid evening out kinda fish..
+1 Yep, Sometimes it's around 10 or 11 am before mine comes out.
 
I was using lanthium until I added the hippo tang in the clinics tank. Trying GFO but might need a larger pump for the reactor.

Their phosphates are high. I might try one of these next
Makes sense. I've never used GFO. Nothing against it, I just prefer fuges when possible.

Good Morning Shelley!
 
Good morning to all you Smorgsters in Smorgville!

Too much catching up to do on the 'Bord these days. I think there has been an average of 13+ pages daily the last couple of weeks. Simply too much for me to keep up on. I do hope all is well with everyone.

Happy Saturday!
 
morning everyone!

I guess I am old now...i threw out my back at the ripe age of 35..and still have 30ft of fence i need to put up
Morning Mike!
 
Morning.
Went to Nimbus fish hatchery yesterday but it has not opened yet.
The salmon and steehead are stacking up like cordwood waiting for the gate to open.
It usually opens around the first of November.
Good fishing downstream from the hatchery on the American river about 8 miles from the house.

Remember that the g is silent when pronouncing pierogi like the g in gyro( pronounced yearo).
IMG_3757.jpeg
I do not know if you are joking, or not, but the "g" in pierogi is not silent and definitely not pronounced the the "g" in gyro. The correct pronunciation is pyeh-roh-ghee with a slight roll on the "r".

Not gonna be pretty I'm afraid
Yeah, well, you're used to not being pretty so it should be no big deal for you.
