Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Me too. Although I don't know what it means exactly. I'll take it though. Smiley face/shrug.
Welcome! Hey, I was gonna tell you to go put in for the Mariner of the Month but I'm going to go nominate you instead.
 
you mean potaTOE salad!
That reminds me of a story that happened to my wife. As a nurse she was driving to the hospital early in the morning and was behind an ambulance. The back door was flapping open and shut. When it hit a pot hole a cooler fell out and it was all she could do to stop and not run over it. She pulled over and opened it and on ice was a toe!

What did your wife do?
 
Not trying to be defensive. Do you say stuff about your tank or family or whatever on introduction? Guess I haven't posted here, although I'm pretty sure I've liked some posts...maybe
You can pretty much tell us what ever you want we are like a big family and talk about all kinds of stuff just no religion or politics. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
 
To put it into context, when the other button scoly was dying, the last day before I took it out I saw Beny nipping on it, at that moment I thought that since it was almost dead it could be normal, here are 2 options now
1- he liked what he tried
2- the torches damaged this other button scoly and he is eating that damaged tissue
 
Very open and laid back family mentality here in this corner of the forumverse. We mostly talk about our tanks, tacos, other food, Tim's twinspot Goby and a good helping of baseball history and music videos.
Food, fish, food, food, food and fish again plus whatever else we feel like. Did I mention food?

I’m inclined with number two. I haven’t seen mine bother any coral but they all are individuals and can go rogue. @JoJosReef any input with yours?
