Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh man... At 999 questions every 2 days at longer than a week there's been a minimum of 3,996 questions from him???
I actually think i missed a few. It's a shame we didn't arrange a system in which I can bank them for future days
 
So with it being a 4ft 120g... i want my zoa garden front and center. Do we think.... 15 lbs of rock would be a good start? I think my garden might be good sized and i feel like i need more hiding spaces for fish but i also feel like coral growth would create hiding spaces as well?

Glad you popped in to say hello. Some really great people and seasoned reefers here. I’m going to let @luis angel give you an overview of this thread, he’s our intern, and I hope you stick around and participate.
@MindlessToxin later we talked about the summary of the 1978 pages lol, but I think that right now there is no more accepted description of the Smorgasbord family than this, this post from this great friend who created this family

So there's 10 new pages when I first open my phone after a few hours, then I can't even finish them. Then a few hours later, I come back and there is 10 more pages! Yeesh! I'll be expecting a paycheck in the mail from all of you. This is turning into a full time job! ;)

15 pounds is either a very dense island rock or a very big island. I'd say 2-3 pounds for an island rock is fairly large

That is great and all Luis but it doesn’t describe the core of this thread, tacos, tailspot blennys, tacos, music, tacos, baseball, tacos and ever once in a while we discuss reefing (really just tacos).

The most important thing to be part of this group of misfits is you must like tacos (and all kinds of other foods), tailspot blenny's, dogs, cats, and horse....
 
This is a very close likeness to Joel.

This was actually my nickname when I was a restaurant manager 10 years ago.
They wouldn't let me have the earring. ;)
