Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
For all you Pink coral lovers- Tidal Gardens has this Goni - it’s the showpiece of my tank! If it’s on live sale, grab it! His frags are good sized and this is a long-arm that is NOT finicky.

Here is mine: Miss Piggy Goniopora

My daughters would love this one ha. I really like Gonis but have shied away as I hear they usually don't survive long.
 
I got worried
We do get tornadoes in this part of the state as well. We here in northeastern Ohio aren’t In Kansas anymore!
 
Katrina,

Do you think it’s time to open up a Build Thread so we can ultra-focus on all the cool stuff you’ve creating?

I’d love to follow along in a chronological order and hey, what’s one more build this group needs to monitor/ hehe.
Na, she is to cool for Build Threads !

This one never faltered in all the months I had it, you know me, I would not recommend a coral or fish unless I was highly confident (I’m still a newb),

This one is pricey even with live sale, but I only purchased two corals at/over $100 and this was one of them.

I think your daughter’s need this one!!
 
Ok, I need to get this off my chest, I don’t want to be a Debbie downer or come across needy but this has really been bugging me. I got my hair cut on Monday and none of you, not a single one noticed!

Let us see
 
I love Todal Gardens, just a 50 minute drive, I’ve picked up quite a few things there. Corals.com is 25 minutes but no pickup.
What?!?? Your that close to Than!!! Officially jealous! No excuse - go get that Goni!
