Man! Nice! Congrats amigo. I guess it doesn't matter how close to Loyola you are now.Shalom and a preemptive Shana tovah.
Gotta warm up before the show. Also, where do you get the white new balance? Or is it a ritual thing.
Oh look, another print! We need one for the front yard too!
Also, I think she's into me...

Me when my wife gets home this afternoon.
I didn't buy one when you were gone! I waited and waited for you to get home. Greg and Marshall both have one and Sam has 2!

Successful reefer? Uh oh. Patience is key. Unfortunately I don't exercise enough patience and therefore I wouldn't consider myself more than moderately successful and managing to hang on?
Oh, and research multiple sites and not relying only on one person's opinion. And don't trust the salesman unless they tell you the same information you've found to be generally true. They will sell you a 10 gallon tank and an Oscar...
I don't know if I'm successful or not. Still feel like everything could crash out of nowhere. Knowing your alk/calc/mag phos/nitrate is key IMO. Know what your tank consumes and therefore what needs to be dosed. Good maintenance is a given..but knowing your parameters is the next level step. If I ask you what your parameters are you should know pretty darn close to what they are. This is learned from testing.

Successful? Not there yet, as it’s an ongoing process. But much of what I have learned so far has come from fellow reefers on this site and also lots of YouTube and Google searching for answers. Oh, and patience.

the research route. what was you most recent topic you needed to learn about?
Exactly...I need to test anyways. Let's see how close I am.
My mag should be about 1450
Calc 420-430
Alk 8.1
Phos .06ish
Nitrate around 9

I agree I sometimes question if I’m a successful reefer. I have corals that will do great for a long time then all of the sudden die on me. It’s ironic that I have more success with SPS than I do the easy corals.
If I had to pick anything I’d say that I’ve joined the phyto dosing bandwagon. I can say that I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my tank since dosing phyto.
