Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
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.
I have a supplement that contains Manganese and iron! Awesome man. Also the lps love the urea dosing.

Cube I picked up is 19.7” in all dimensions. Comes with all the goodies except the lid which is fine cause I’ve been wanting to get a lid that’s more kitty proof.

i had 2 10oz cups of Deathwish and a can of C4. I’m guessing about 900-1100 mg of caffeine for the night.
Glass is best for a younger cat.

Nothing wrong with being a part of the greatest generation! Of course psycho Sam thinks being a boomer is an insult.

Is the Ohio flag in the background a nod to the greatest boomer ever!
 
My old man dog passed a few years back. His name was Little Guy. I found him in the desert and my wife didn't want to get attached he was around 14 or 15 when he passed.

I am so glad you rescued him. Amazing how he lasted even an hour on his own.

A lot of immature younger people think that. It’s kinda funny to me that an actual historical thing is being used that way.
 
Clearview Lids.
They are making a custom lid for the veterinarian clinics tank right now. It was missing a glass panel. But I wanted to replace it with a lid with mesh. That would plug into the black hinge the missing glass piece did. Kracken lids said they wouldn't do it. But Clearview lids has been great helping with a design to plug in where the missing glass was. And sit flush on the euro edge of the tank.

The original lid had 4 glass panels. Still has 3.

Actually excited to see how it comes out.
