Additional Aquarium Information
- What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
- Patience, research, and listening to people who are more knowledgeable than you about the hobby. So many people think they know better than the veterans. Also accept that what works for some won't work for alls. Some of your fish and coral just won't thrive, no matter how hard you try, you likely just won't make it work even though it seems like you should on paper. Just the nature of the game.
