Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I would start with a tuxedo urchin or two, a few more Mexican Turbo snails, 8 stomatella snails and fuzzy chitons if they have them , 8 Trochus snails ( they will reproduce in your tank, 10 cerith snails, 8 nassarius snails and a couple tiger conches. Disregard the last two if your tank is bare bottomed.
Thats the crew right there KG!
 
I thought you got a $200 gift card. Definitely two Tuxedo urchins and conches. I’d still do 3 more Mexican turbo snails and cut the rest in half and see that would do it . If that doesn’t do it toss the ceriths for now and cut the rest in half again.
Tux out of stock as usual.
 
Unfortunately they're out of pretty much everything right now unless you want a small aquarium - they've got a couple of those to choose from.

Already got one just not ready yet. Need a stand and light and I'll be there.
 
Look so came out long enough to get pictures for the first time! So glad I bought this one the colors are amazing!

I've had one of those now for 2 years. Never hides always out

The gift card is good for a year so you can wait if you want to.
 
I'd go on LiveAquaria and set alerts for items that you want and you should receive an email when they're back in stock.

I have 27 or 28 items on my list currently. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

So yall ready for some pictures? I went to cultivated reef today and they gave me what they called a neighborly deal. Tell me what yall think. I got some zoas for the wife's zoa garden, one came with some superman montipora encrusting the plug. Got a rainbow chalice, got a spliced/grafted? Montipora with some different zoas growing on it, and i got a pair of candy canes. 140$
