Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I use a Reef Factory doser in drilled through a mini fridge to dose All For Reef and liquid foods (PhytoFeast/OysterFeast/PacPods/RotiFeast). But I will not buy another Reef Factory device. It's been a headache. I have another Simplicity 4 head doser that I wanted to replace it with, but I haven't had the willpower to dig out the silicone that I used to plug up the drilled holes and replace all the wires/tubing...
I love simplicity products, I'm more than happy with my ATO reservoir!
 
Dears, I need your feedback do you think the landscape will be better if I take out the rock circled in red ?
I have so many ideas for that bridge if it were in my tank. I have an arch in almost the same place and it just helped me to set a contrast with the other side of the tank. Then you also have a cool overhang, shaded area under it for something else unique!
 
Yes, in R2R, topics of religion and politics are not allowed and it is understandable, for the same reason I said before, it is not the case with us but nowadays those topics cannot be discussed with everyone, @John Doe do not think that we are scolding you lol I know that you did it with the best intentions because we were all a little quiet, I firmly believe that politics is a topic that should be discussed without interposing friendship but this is simply not the place for that.
Luis, I wish we're neighbors! Eh we'd probably drink too much beer.
 
Anyone who's using a doser what are we all using and recommendations please.
Phosphates... Don't follow my example!!! I use tap water for top offs and we have high calcium, magnesium, and Alkalinity so I rarely have to add anything during the cooler months, just in the summer when the "cleaner" wells start running.

Sorry, that's one thing we all agree on. All tailspot blennies are amazing. Oh, and we're all equally fascinated by Tim's twinspot goby and/or wrasse.

Last I heard, Tim has a twinspot goby, twinspot wrasse, twinspot clowns, twinspot damsels, twinspot royal gramma, twinspot watchman goby, twinspot blenny etc!
 
Would you guys think I could put two blueface pipefish, a pygmy anthias, and a hi fin shrimp pair in a 15 gallon cube? I feel that is overstocked .
