Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Looking at it and thinking about it there are only three stars, I think I might have left the “r” out of the word frag, my bad.:astonished-face:
my coffee post was changed to kickbutt. first time that I've seen it and I think it is in the filters so not like someone saw it and changed.

does this mean you are now on triple secret probation?
 
now we're talking! Unfortunately you addressed this to Pual. not sure who that is. :zany-face:
I’m struggling texting today, I might be experiencing a storke yohhhbbnywjsszxvvvvvv hgfdsa inghweeeeeerdedddee

Sorry, I'm slow
 
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. It was a small stroke between the brain and skull. It was drained and I should be up on my feet in no time. You can resume holding my texting back to higher standards again.

Sand sifters lose legs when they start starving.
 
Please talk me out of it but I’m itching to release these shrimp into my dt. They have been in the acclimation box for just over two weeks. I told myself I would not put them in until they got bigger and have had at least three molts, they have had two. Last time I put a small one in the blood red cleaner shrimp, at least 4 times bigger, immediately chased it behind the rocks never to be seen again. Talk me down please.

I don't know what to do in this case, I have never removed the sand in this tank so that they always have to eat, and with this problem of high phosphates I can't add food in quantity.

Looks like it, you’re a father again . That makes 11 offspring knocking off Wess! Sandsifting stars just don’t thrive in our tanks and end up starving which causes them to slowly disintegrate.
