Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
GREAT idea.

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

My Foxface has started ripping the Nori clips of 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.
I've only used it a couple of times but I love it. I had used others before with another tang I had and whenever he bit, larger pieces would always come out floating around the tank and with this one, from what I saw yesterday, that doesn't happen. You can also keep it in the tank for longer if you need to because if it comes off it gets trapped inside.

Excuse me, I'm not that young. Lol

Thanks, I haven't had a torch in like 30 years but I always liked them. I just got this one last week and haven't had time to kill it yet.
Actually, I may have spoken too soon. I just went over to check on the tank and to prep it for some work and two of the three heads on the torch are completely retracted. To the point I first thought they had been eaten. Hopefully they're just prepping for coming out even bigger. Guess I'll need to keep an eye on it.

EDIT: I forgot that I just dosed some Red Sea AB+ so it may be reacting to that. Fingers crossed.

Late to the show... but ... Good morning! Finally have a minute to "try" and catch up on all the posts since yesterday. Work today at the VA is busier than a cat hiding a turd!

Im waiting on Daniel. I had sent my pm claiming it and got a response from Alycia, but Daniel was sick so I waited about a week or so, then got an email asking for my name for the gift card, and haven't heard anything back since. I bumped it yesterday or Sunday I believe. Can't remember which
