What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Boy does this one bring back memories. First concert I ever went to was The Cream.
My first concert was Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Thunderbirds with Whitesnake and Great White. I was in 9th grade. He died shortly after that.
 
Another proyect started today ;)

New fish room Luis? Nice, I like it! I'd run dedicated circuits while you are at it and a flush out drain in the floor for automated water changes.
 
Okay, so I spent $110 on a 24w green killing machine. It should come tomorrow. Hopefully that ends this annoying algae bloom.
I run the smaller one on my 40, works like a charm!
 
Pic of the onion volcano and did you toss a piece of protein into your husband’s mouth?
Really trying to refrain what I want to post!! But, it is funny as heck in my head!! Lol
 
And if you guys think I'm giving Heineken to the corals? Maybe I do, lol.
That's the secret sauce right there! I'll start dosing a nice juicy IPA and see how my corals respond!
 
Dang I wish I'd seen this earlier Luis. I'd love your opinion honestly. I'm getting some magnetic frag racks to put them on the glass or backwall somewhere. I don't think I'll mount these, as I see myself fragging them in the future. Here you go bud tell me what you think. I'm thinking more towards the back where the other euphyllia is. I marked a few places with x's

Depends on flow and light requirements of what you are getting brother. I've seen some nice single mount magnetic ones, that way you could place them separately at the 'X' you posted.
 
The big boy in the back? That's a wellsophyllia. It's basically a different growth morph of the trachyphyllia. This guy has so much personality. You never know what shape it's going to take on.
Same coral

Don't they cup like they when they are trying to trap food? It's beautiful though! Wow!
 
@Imrahilwjz The white worms are colonizing my new culture perfectly. This has been a lot of fun, thank you. My fish and corals absolutely LOVE them. I'll be sending @Rocks reef a culture soon. I just want to make sure it is well colonized and loaded with eggs. I don't want to send him just a pile of dirt.
I hope your family and new little baby are doing great. Blessings and prayers from down south brother.
You always have such kind words to share brother! It's always nice to read your messages.

To put them on the glass, I think @Remi and @Rocks reef gave you the perfect advices. If it were going to be on the rock, you might have to restructure a bit and move all the hammers to the right near the acans and the tochs where the hammers are now ;)
