Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@Imrahilwjz Thank you so much for the white worm culture. Mine and my wife's fish love them more than anything I feed. The corals eat them up like candy, and Amy is using them to rehabilitate her Halloween Hermit that had a failed molt. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed them. I hope your new baby, and the whole family is doing great!
We're doing well.

I didn't realize this krill was so much bigger than Hikari. I tried chopping it up small but the fish still don't go for it. However it worked well to rubberband to a stone a feed this guy.
