Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
LFS few weeks ago received sea apples, I never saw that before. It is poisonous unfortunately if stressed or dead.
I believe the same risk as a sea cucumber. Someone on here keeps a cucumber and loves it, @JoJosReef ?
 
We spoke about snorkelling, I miss doing it. Few screenshots (bad quality) from videos I took the last time I did.

@Remi Sea Apples are a level above other filtering cucumbers (e.g., my yellow cuke), which are themselves a level above the sand filtering one with regards to risk of nuking your tank. Sea apples have a bad reputation. I would check with @ISpeakForTheSeas , who I think has a few posts and references on the real risk of sea apples and cukes.
 
Home now warm fuzzy pj's here I come...
