Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I am really impressed with your presentation! It is adorable and looks yummy.
Those were bread stamps from when they first went to kindergarten to make them happy when I wasn’t there. I also have a frog and a kitty. They may not appreciate it now but when they grow up they will remember the little things.
 
Can anyone id this snail from these crappy pictures? It acts like a cerith and will hang out on the glass under the sand. As far as I know it’s a harmless algae eater similar to a cerith, just curious.

Margarita. Maybe a Nerite but more likely a Margarita.

I would also say margarita. They are dumb. Knock it off the glass so it’s upside down. If it can’t right itself margarita.
 
How's your Monday everyone? I spent most of the day in the mechanic and now I'm going to take care of the tank Because to my surprise, the alkalinity hose of the doser got clogged and came loose and there is a tremendous mess down there lol

Figures, sorry Luis but it’s hard to get down when you can look at your beautiful tank.

Luis, how's the copperband doing? Eating?
 
I did sneak in a 10 gallon change this morning while the kids were packing.
Changed out my lifereef vs3-24 back to my octopus 150s.
Couldn't take the noise of the lifereef anymore, sounded like a washing machine.
Much quieter now.
Now I can use that pump for everything.
That's nice, cutting down from 5 pumps in the sump to 2.

So far so good, Walker, he's still quite shy but I manage to drop food near him and he always eats, I have to look for mini mysis to try because now he eats well. He grabs the brine shrimp first and breaks it into 2 or 3 pieces and then eat
