Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It is fast paced, exciting and stressful all at the same time. I told my daughter who is just a rock star, waits tables, cooks, etc that when I don't have the passion anymore it will be time to stop.
I have noticed people seem much more demanding than they used to.
And don't get me started on people's driving nowadays

And don't get me started on people's driving nowadays
OMG( that’s oh my god for you older people), I commute over an hour to and from work. These new cars don’t have turn signals! People either have a phone against their head or its to much work to pull the turn signal lever with their finger. And did they stop teaching that the left lane is the passing lane and the right is for slower traffic? Ok, I feel a little better getting that off my chest. @Katrina71 you hit a nerve and opened a can of worms!
 
Do y'all ever pick up pieces of rock just because it's got a cool shape or feature?
Yes.
About 2 months ago I added a bunch more rock to my tank and got it because of the cool shapes and it had some coralline algae in it,
 
Do y'all ever pick up pieces of rock just because it's got a cool shape or feature?
All the time.
I have pieces I like better than coral and definitely better than some fish.
I think the rock is close to my favorite part.
