Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
In my old tank (3 tanks ago) I had it in higher light. It grew ok but the colors weren't super "deep". In my last tank I had it in a similar spot and it did good. This tank, once it finally got established it really started developing the colors.
The size and colors of that thing are amazing. I've got a fairly small 4 head frag that I believe will put out some good colors and growth. I appreciate the tips. I was going to glue it down here soon.
 
im not familiar with what this means.... sorry :smiling-face:
Tap the blue word and it will take you to another page and press the watch button and every time a member of the Smorgasbord uses it you will receive a notification, if you want of course, Walker created it for when a member wants to gather us all in another thread, just put that and you don't have to put name by name.
 
@luis angel what is Rock Pool Reef Keepers?
It’s a group started by a gentleman across the pond in England. His tank consists of fish and inverts he collects from the rock pools in the ocean. Stand up guy.

That is really cool Kevin! I bet his tank is awesome. My wife has done that with her 20 gallon. It's all fauna from the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks for filling me in!

It is amazing how colorful fish, anemones, crabs etc are even in non tropical waters.

Can we have a Smorgasbord badge? How can we create a user group? Maybe it can be done ;)
 
You all can also join the 305 reef club, I know you're not from Miami but you're my family, so if you want that cute red badge you know I'm here to accept you all hahaha

THAT would be super cool.
It took Frank a long time for his firebug badge so I dunno....
But hey, we're worth it, right!
