What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I hope everyone is staying as cool as possible its miserable here again today. I tried to go for a walk at lunch but I'm this heat I could only make one lap around the building instead of the 4 I normally do, 4 laps is a mile.
Yup. Real feel of 103 here and i'm about to go on a run.... its going to stink. I'm just going to look forward to the cold shower after.

My office building is always so cold most everyone has space heaters in their offices so it felt really good for about 10 minutes after I came back inside.

I was cleaning a coil and changing a blower motor and the heat is too much.

I feel for anyone that has to work out in this heat like you and my hubby and his crew.
 
Tailspot blenny is in the tank. In trouble already. Marble wrasse is already stalking and the serpent star is being weird and trying to find him. I don't think the wrasse will eat him. He's small, smaller then my pinky. Do they grow any bigger? If not he's getting moved to the 15g.
 
Always remember to change the A/C filter, check the coil for maintenance if necessary, air conditioning is very important in this heat.

It's a new fish and it's small, it's normal for the others to give it a hard welcome, mine is in the tank with the wrasses that are twice or more its size and the foxface and there are no fights.

He should grow some.

Im not worried about a fight... More like a couple of bites and the tailspot is gone. My wrasse definitely is not normal. He barely tolerates normal tank mates currently. Hes a marble/hornatus wrasse. Hes done amazing in my tank (besides eating all of my cuc). Probably my favorite but he hates new fish.
