What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
There 200 songs divided into play list now I can look for more and add them to play list as I find ones I like.
We ought to go through and find all the songs that have been shared, then @00W Ought to share 2 at a time, and we vote for the better of the two, until we get down to a albums worth and make it the Smorgasbord Playlist 🤔 anyone got an extra 3 or 4 solid days worth of scrolling for songs? 🤣😂

I like the idea in theory, but would go crazy during the research phase lol

Luis or Joel could do it they seem to have a lot of time on their hands lately. 😉
 
It seems to be! @Red_Beard seems to be having the same results as well! Im a big fan of it.
Im enjoying growing sps a lot They look great in the tank, and watching them grow has been so much fun. I have a few acros and mostly montis and anacropora. I've got a little more room on the rock tower then ill probably add another rock style frag rack on the tops of the sides.

Yea, I got half way through typing out the idea then said "uhm... oh....... who's got time for that?" Lol
 
I didnt bake mine..... that was a mistake.... fruit flies and mites... working on separating them.
yeah, just aluminum turkey roasting pan with aluminum foil on top. wet the soil and cook at 200 for about an hour. I used to do this for all my indoor plants until I got a new oven. you can do it on the grill too. they sell yellow sticky inserts that help with hatching gnats as well as uv light attractants that have a fan which sucks them in and onto a sticky board.

I've been hit by the stick bug. Im at a point where I like my selection, so i'm letting things settle in and grow, but if things go smoothly I might invest in a couple high end acros eventually.

you might need to omit a few country songs 🤣

Oh no! Put her litter box outside if she's used it. It might help her find her way back.

I posted pictures of all my corals in my 125 on my build thread for those that are interested. Maybe tomorrow I can get updated pictures of my nano tank it is doing well other than going through a bit of the ugly stage with algea as is normal.
 
@Nor'easter Reefer Check these rock racks out, Mike. I have several of their products. It's a way to add depth and texture and still keep a realistic look.

I have three of these in my tank. I like them a lot. Mine aren't really for frags though, they're ledges the fish feel safe to hide under. When the fish all spook, the Foxface, Bristtletooth and Possum Wrasse all hang out under this one and the Foxface probably spends 20% of his day under it.
