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

Thanks guys. We are heading out for the last rabbit hunting of the season and I will not have signal where we are going so I will check in later. Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

I finally noticed you had a link for the pico
I haven't figured out if you can have two build thread badges to make it easy but I don't think it's possible so I added the link in my signature.

is that the difference between "my tank thread" and "my aquarium showcase"?
 
It's cool that your clowns seem to host your branching ones!
They prefer to have the duncan host them but when lights go off and the duncan fully retracts they move into the candy cane.
 
@tharbin Yesterday I got my tang to try the nori, the new nori roller that I have has a compartment in the middle to feed frozen cubes too, what I did was I put the nori in and then I put a mysis cube inside, he ate a lot of nori, now I'm going to put it on for a couple of days in a row to see if the foxface try it
 
WOW!! Who's selling those?
cruzn_aquatics on instagram. You can send him a message if you are interested in ordering from him. I order from him all the time great prices. He has a website but took all the corals down from it because he was at an aquatic show over the weekend. He should be adding them back soon.

GREAT idea.

I've been looking at that Nori feeder. How do you like it?

My Foxface has started ripping the Nori clips off the pane and dropping them in the sand. I have a Two Little Fishes Nori pouch that I went back to using after the fourth time the Foxface ripped the clip off the pane but I don't really care for it.
 
Thoughts on these torch prices? They seem great to me.
