Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
What do you think about this order form tidal gardens?

Is it worth it?

I will make a cart from TSA and see what yall think.
Prices are good, I’ve gotten both the Sakura and Bob Marley zoas from them. Both Tidal Gardens and Coras.Com have excellent packaging and I never had a doa or a coral not do well from either. I also use Tidal Gardens website for information on coral care no matter where I get it from.
 
Would stay away from xenia.
Grows like a weed. Takes over Parker.

Just so everyone knows, I'm camping with very little service. Probably won't be around much until Sunday afternoon/evening.

Enjoy the camping my friend, don't forget to take lots of photos for when you return!
 
Hey so I dipped the torches in Coral RX. Is that a good dip?

I didn’t really see any pests on the corals. I put them back in and they’re starting to open up a bit, but I noticed that they are releasing this brown stuff. What is this? Here are photos.

Guy look at these adorable pictures I found to hang on the wall where my tea/coffee setup is! I downloaded them from Esty for $6 then printed them at Walmart in 8x10 size for $12.

Made it onto the flight. Sounds like I will make my flight, but I will be the last on my flight. I'm going to Chicago, so picture me running like like the Home Alone family... haha.

Could be pooping, is it stringy?
