Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I got an acro too in the auctions. It looks pretty big, and i won it for 30 bucks. Pretty nervous...
I figured if I got it cheap enough it's worth the try... but my word am i nervous haha
 
That's awesome! I didn't get any goni, I heard they were hard. Otherwise I'd love the movement
It’s luck o the Irish haha they like your tank or they don’t. Add on a cheap one before your order ships and see what happens

Already shipped. Arriving today. Maybe if I win that SBB giveaway I'll order one :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
 
Anyone in the market for lights, I can confidently recommend the new meridians from Reef Breeders. Two of the smallest lights, Meridian 11, are blanketing my 75g reef front to back

I went from this….48” photon 48 v2+ 48” bar + 24” bar

And I’m getting equal to better coverage, and more color, and more control, equal par, from these two little Meridian 11 panels

I know that in this hobby nothing is cheap, especially the best things, but what price range are they in?

The Meridian 11’s I have are 400 each and can cover 24x24 easily.
 
Nice haul! Hopefully your freebies are good ones!

Here’s my order, the acans I got for 5$ in a random drop, the hammer was normally $140 and I won it in auction for 40$!

Have you ordered from them much? Do they usually send decent freebies? I was worried if just get a Kenya trees or something I wouldn't even want in my tank
 
Good Morning peeps. found an extra pencil urchin this morning. about the size of a dime. didn't think I had this stable enough for that to happen. really like the coloring on these adults.

You won’t get junk lol

I have made 5-6 orders in the last year these are some freebies I’ve received. These are pics in the first day or two of arrival, not pics of things grown out by me for months. Multi head acans and nice stuff

Lately I message and ask for freebie snails instead of coral and they accommodate and give me 10-15 healthy astrea
