Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I tested the Mg, 2 times, 1350 and 1400, the lfs test is super uncalibrated, I cut a few zoas, not all I wanted because I didn't have more plugs, I moved the torch up but I had to put it back in its place because it was getting blasted, I also changed the water and then I went to the park with Jason for a while to play soccer, now I'm going to make the meat lol and continue with the beers

Thats a cool helmet you got bud!
 
Is that aiptasia? Lol
Yep. Got a healthy population growing. CBB is one the list soon. I got a CBB feeder coming soon and i'm prepping a acclimation tank. Gonna try and get a few rocks with aptasia for it to eat and hopefully nip this issue in the bud!
 
I already had some, she made a pan for the house. I put a little pasta sauce over mine.

Public school or not, you made a very smart move there. Would it be blasphemy if I sprinkled a little bit of Louisiana hotsauce on mine Kevin?

I'm not going to take the idea from you buying a CBB, but I am telling you not to buy it thinking that it's going to eat all your aiptasia. Mine doesn't. That doesn't mean that the one you're going to get won't either, but not all of them do.

I’ve been hearing great things about this fish. TSA has them in stock. Are you reading this Joel?

No worries buddy, I want one regardless. It'd be cool if it ate aptasia though!
