Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I got some with one of my shipments but never see any arms. I wonder if my butterfly fish got them before they got into the rocks.
If you have a magnifying glass that may help you locate them
 
Di you wish you could be Tim as bad as I do?😪
I'm closer, I'm only off by one letter, a number of years, skill, -- never mind. Yes.
 
Yeah. Inspired to grab one by @luis angel pictures. I hate shaking the tubes. 😄
It will not only make testing more enjoyable, it will make it more accurate. One of the best reefing investments I ever made.
 
It went well. She's feeling decent enough.

I did. Keep in mind, I had 3 Halichoeres wrasses in my tank.
I’m glad to hear it went well and she is doing better.

I see your Yellow and raise you a Green Goblin (and gratuitous leucoxanthus pic)
Love em both Tim!! How long of a growth period is that!?!? I don't have the GG yet. I picked up a nice chunk of tropicana anacropora. That one was kind of hard to find. It's a creamy pearl with aqua blue polyps, and I think it has a yellow, turquoise hue as it matures.
 
Ahh... Spam Musubi! I was introduced to that when I was stationed in Hawaii. Now, I make it myself. When my wife and I went to Hawaii for a vacation a couple years ago, that was the first thing I ate. She gave me a ... what the heck... look for eating Spam! Little did she know, they (locals) eat that ALOT!!
Musubi is one of the best uses for spam imo. You've got me wanting to go get a press
 
When mine were finished I would see one or two out on the glass with the lights on looking for food but with the wrasses I don’t know.

It's a shame, they're are basically born to die in this hobby. Id have them all over my tank, they're really cool.

Tropicana is gorgeous. I HAD one but lost it in the great algae bloom. It is on my list for trying to replace it.
 
Sorry for not being on much... life has just been crazy... and incredibly hot. 94° here, with a real feel temp of 103°. Tank is at 80 degrees, just like the house. I really don't like turning on the AC because of how bad it is for the environment.
