Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Not home right now but I frogot to give an update. When I went to scrub the stressors and regulars I made sure to scrub the base under them. I got every rock (nearly every rock) good. I have 3 more to do tomorrow. In total today I did around 5 rocks, scraped the glass (mostly), and changed the filter out added phosphate pads, marineland floss and underdose of carbon. Phosbond still not in.

And this cannot be missed( for me lol )after each water change. A cap or two of Microbacter7, 3ml of each bottle of Trace Elements and RO water to clean the glass ;)

RFAs tend to hide until some day they come out.

My RFA doesn't bother my BTAs and my BTAs don't bother my RFA.

Do you have a tank thread? If not, how old is the tank, what's in it, what's lighting it, what's flowing it, etc...?

She has spots on her underside.
