What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My son saw me looking at the Mariner of the month thread today and asked me why I never entered. I honestly think it's cooler to be nominated. So he said he'd nominate "our" tank, and would be proud of me even if I didn't win lol. There are are some amazing reefers in this month's contest. We'll see how it goes. I hope you guys like the post, bc you're all a part of my success family!

Sounds great buddy! Let's bring it home. I didn't realize Wes was in it. I mightve waited
 
He just ate too.

That thing is amazing. Do you think it would work in my wife's fowlr? I had a colorless tube anemone years ago, but I don't know if these guys need specific lighting or anything like that.

I'm not saying this because of that lol, I'm saying it because Wes is another Smorg who is participating ( I don't know if he's participating this month ) and you two deserve that title.

I don’t think fish will eat it. I was concerned with crabs picking at it but so far nothing bothers it. I only have the one hydra32 over it still. I’m trying to figure out how to hang the Orphek from a RMS still. It really only requires medium light and low flow. Where I placed it it doesn’t get the full mp40. I’d give it a try. The glow on it under the light is crazy. It’s so much brighter than those pics I posted.
