Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Big downhills on the tank the last few days. I had 2 btas ( one healthy and one recovering) on acclimation box for few weeks and decided to put them on glass pot where there is not too much flow and good light. The healthy one jump during the night and went through 3 powerheads. The other one stayed days no moving and same thing during the night. I have no nem guard as it has to be made specifically by 3d printer (German brand and I am in a small country). On the 2nd one, skimmer stop working for no reason. I couldn't clean the pump as it is fully siliconed. After many tests, it was the water level which was the same as before. So I modify the partition to have more water. After it was the gyre not working, solved the problem, after it was another powerheads solved also. And finally a stray voltage. All in the same morning. Result Gomez is missing, fish got ich again, add more food and selcon resulting on the increase of GHA and cyano and 2 torches bailout. What bother me the most is Gomez the rest will be solved slowly. Lesson learnt.
So sorry Remi, I can feel your frustration!
