What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I recently bout a tang from my LFS and didn’t qt it. It’s been doing great. I want to go get 8 blue/green chromis but don’t want to qt them
I know there are popular vendors that qt, Dr. Reef and Biota but it’s great to have a fantastic lfs so fish don’t have to go through the stress of shipping.

Yea the problem with the online quarantine venders is the fish are so much more expensive and you need to pay for shipping,

My week of vacation was just working on my stuff for a week. I know what you mean. Feels good checking stuff off the list though!

Sounds like my normal vacation!
 
I like getting stuff done, cleaning stuff up and there's always something to keep me busy.
As I get older, though, I wear out a bit sooner.
Have to say I'm a bit sore tonight...
 
Ok my beloved Smorg family. After being nominated for MOTM by John. I just finished my write up and posted it. I would be beyond honored if I could get a few votes from the Smorg family!
John @kingranch2003 , thank you. Honestly, thank you. What you wrote touched my heart. I truly appreciate your kind words.
I will catch up (again) in a bit as it's been a long day
