Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
But today I will not dwell on sadness I need a happy day. I have had too much stress and sad in my life the last few months between losing my mother in law, then my beloved pup and a dear friend of ours to cancer. So today no more sad!!!
No more sad.
Period.
 
They must really want rid of the maroon clowns they are 90% off of $25... they also have a sick looking lunar wrasse, a sailfin, and a red Firefish, a fairy wrasse and a coral beauty but there is too much algea on the glass to get decent pictures. They have some sad zoas and what may have been duncans but are now dead or close to it.

Thanks, John! When I got them flesh was peeling off, and by the next morning it was almost complete white skeleton. I didn't have much hope for them. But, the vendor was really good and sent me 4 new corals!
Super seller! That's awesome brother
 
Oh no Luis!! The one time I miss it! I had a field trip with my son this morning, so I had to miss it!! I hope we get another chance brother lol

Family first John, I'm always ready, I go to bed late everyday ;)
 
What are we getting?
Not sure but Luis is buying and it's aquarium related so I thought maybe I wanted whatever it was.
Knowing Luis whatever it is I probably can't figure out how to use it but what the heck.
 
Better selection and cleaner tanks at the second store.

I just got home Joel, busy day, I already arrived with the lights off, tomorrow I'll check and let you know if it's already below 0.90, but I hope not lol because that would be too fast I think
I think they say down to 0.02 in 4 days on the bottles of Phos-X or equivalent...
 
More time Amanda, they are pretty hardy.

My RFA was very faded, shrunk significantly, even let go of the rock. I tucked it into a lower flow area and a few days later it somewhat perked up and walked across the tank and picked a new favorite spot.
