Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I disagree i think it's great because it means they just have to have two or more tanks...
Your way of thinking is impeccable Amanda!
 
I really hope so! I'd love to have a couple. My current problem: i have all kinds of LPS and I'd like to try and acro but everyone says mixed tanks are the hardest :thinking-face:
They have less demanding SPS though. They are plenty of amazing mixed reef tanks
 
Anyone got suggestions on a fish that would be ok in my pico? I have read/ watched videos that said tailspot blenny, clown goby, and firefish as well as others I can't remember but wanted to see if you guys had other suggestions.

Clown goby or small goby maybe.

I think a tsb and fireifsh would be too big for your tank, but a clown goby may work!
 
I pity anyone who enters your house unwelcomed
They wouldn’t even know he’s there. He doesn’t bark, not a peep, IDK ( that’s I don’t know for you older reefers) why. He might lick them to death. A guard dog he is not.
 
He went to bed last night and was dead this morning (he was acting weird I knew).
So sorry Remi, this is the only part of this hobby that I hate.

Remind me how many gallons it is. Are you looking for an open water swimmer or something like my son’s orange spotted goby?
 
Beautiful!!! We have high winds and thunderstorms today.
March is always bipolar here in northeast Ohio. Yesterday was 60 degrees and tomorrow they are calling for the “S” word. :crying-face:
