Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have never had a torch. I am going to need one for my new tank. But I will have to look into the different colors. Seems to be lots
Let me know when that time comes, Shelley.
 
I want to have a local store I can buy torches and gonis. No overnight shipping! And I can see them in person. 😊
My LFS has recently gone into the business of high end corals, and it has changed the game!
 
Looks like we printing the first run of shirts designs..today....since the shop she works at is closed on weekends...the 10,000 square foot place is all ours lol
Paper work came back...she is legal company now...
Congratulations! Photos please.
 
This could be both bad and good.
Yes! And has been.
Shelley, I have an empty tank sitting there waiting for water. All I see is the 5 grand it would take me to fill it up with the kind of corals I like. A planted freshener tank would cost pennies in comparison 😆
 
So Steve. I added the blue goni and hopefully one day will receive the orange goni from hellfire. What's the first thing I should introduce to the tank for them. Just picking your goni brain.

Good jams by the way
 
You made me laugh with this one Kevin. This reminds me of when I was much younger and I went to the video game store to buy a game called "Red Dead Redemption " . I asked the guy selling it to me if he had played it, and if he liked it. Well he tells me that he didn't like it because there was too much cruelty to animals i.e. hunting and fishing.

Well you can also murder every human character that you run across in the game. When I asked him about that, he said, "dude they're not real people"!

I digress....
Almost forgot to mention. So far we are liking the Last of Us.

More gonis . They love company.
But seriously they like fairly dirty water so to speak. And you can’t feed them but it’s not totally necessary. Magnesium , Manganese and iron are important.

That is definitely my next game! Seems like you've been playing it a while. I always look for that in a new game.
