kittenbritches' Reefing Journey

[fishface NJ]

Have you tested all the usual parameters? Good luck with the new tank!

I also REALLY need to stop buying coral. Will someone please hold me accountable? I need 12 steps and a sponsor at this point.

Sorry to break the news homie, but you're in a den of enablers.. if you need a hookup on a 12 frag pack, we can help you out. Not sure we do steps round here

Remember the first post. Just about a month ago.... when you said you were going to go slow and steady lol The positive is you're learning alot of lessons the hard way. I don't think there is a better way to learn them. Your also fighting through them rather than giving up. It will pay off in time. So much in just a month!

Hey! Thought I'd stop by and check up on this build. Heard about the leakage.... sucks.

New tanks just aren't made well... at all. Quality control is a thing of the past. I bought a 75g Marineland tank in August and the silicone was so bad I returned the first and really picked through thier stock to find a barely acceptable one. I sure hope it doesn't leak. There is a questionable corner I get to monitor over the next however many years of use.

However, you'll likely be fine, that's what I'm telling myself anyways!

I know! I need to stay away from friggin sales. I really think that after this batch comes Thursday that I'll be done — until my new build. Hahaha. I'm doomed.

Slow and steady until the mania hits. If I'm being honest with myself, I've always been a baptism by fire type. Road to hell, good intentions...

They are all so tempting, especially POTO and REEFTIDE.

Well Kitten... The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I happen to personally be in charge of the speed limit!!!

I've ridden (fast) motorcycles all around your state. Funny thing is that the locals always called it Ootah?

They were surely pulling your leg, buster. It's definitely You-Tah!

Tell me about it. If someone flushes while I'm in the shower, the water slows to a literal trickle. I've had the pressure tested at the main and it's fine going into the house. Somewhere, some pipe is throwing a wrench in my operation.

Check the water regulator valve .. My house was he same way I replaced them and all was great again!

I believe that's in my crawlspace -- I might not make it down there until after Thanksgiving! LOL

I'm trying to imagine what even exists in Centerville! Hahaha.

My scape is a little haphazard right now because I'll be upgrading next week so It's just functional and my corals are all on their plugs in the sand or racks.

Buuuuuuut... How about a video of my Black Light Torch I took this morning?
