I am thankful for the microbes that are eating detritus and then being eaten by my corals. I wish more people were useful like my tanks wonderful microbes.
I am thankful for the unnatural diversity of the microbes in my reef tank. I suspect I have Caribbean, South Pacific, and Southern California oceanic microbes that keep things running smoothly.
I am thankful for the mulm made in my tanks that is collected in my skimmer cups. I dump it in potted plant pots and hope that it makes the plants grow.
I am thankful that my nose is desensitized to the mulm smell. I am thankful that I can collect the mulm from my fish tanks without suffering the insult to my nose that other people with high functioning noses suffer when they get a whiff of my mulm cups.
I am thankful that I could post a bunch of important information about my tanks here in case I get drawn and will then be even more thankful that I wrote all about how thankful I am for my tank. Thanks for reading.
