What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

My boy is a Tennessee Walker!
 
I think my parents are gonna pay for shipping with my live aquaria order, I currently have two tux urchins, 5 nassarius snails, 10 dwarf blue tip hermits, and 5 turbo snails. I tried to get emerald crabs but they are so expensive, they have a sale but its not much that's for sure. If I ever have the chance to order from LA again, definitely gonna get a fighting conch, emerald crabs, and cerith snails. The more you look on their website the more you realize 100$ wont get you very far lol. But I really want a fighting conch I dont know why but I like how it looks and I hear its good for cuc, as well as cowries.
 
I’m going to hang out with Jen now before she goes to work and make some more coffee because I drank it all.
Have a good day everyone.
We’re gonna have a good day and all my homies are gonna ride today and ain’t no one gonna die today
Because we’re gonna have a good day.

He was one of only a few that survived in his unit in the Battle of the Buldge in Germany.
Someone was asking but this thread is getting out of control I can’t find the person or the post for some reason.

If you live near Lincolnton GA I’ll give you my emerald crabs because I’m getting nervous about them eating my coral.
I’ve never had one eat coral in 30 years of keeping them but recently I saw a video on YouTube of one eating a torch coral and it’s freaked me out ever since!!

I loved my little emeralds until I accidentally killed them by over dosing peroxide. I suck at math and should have met my husband figure the right amount for me. A painful and expensive mistake to make...

I live in Virginia so pickup is out of the question. Shipping is always dangerous especially through FedEX and USPS
