Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Forgot to mention, when I was in ER they apparently figured out I had Uronema because part of my treatent was two IVs of Metro.
So your basically a chromis? Hmmm i had my suspicions
 
Photo dump, because I promised @kingranch2003 I'd post some pictures!

I must be, my wife just told me I had 5 IVs of Metro, not 2.
Woa, we'll have to call you Tom "blue green" Tharbin from now on!
 
Made it to Glacier today. No service at the campground. Might be out of touch for a day or two
 
Oh yeah, super fast grower! I love the contrast of the teal with yellow tips too, one of my favorites! Mine came frome Battlecorals, he sells it as Poletti yellow tip, as he got it from Mike Poletti.


Thank you! 😊


Those are looking great! Going to look amazing once they fill in!
I appreciate the kind words brother. Yeah when Mike said you were having luck with them, I checked out your thread and now that is a reef! What "sticks" out to me is your variety of corals and anemones. There's that much variation and everything is thriving. Keep it up brother.
 
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.

Im thinking of getting one of these or the corner shelves. I was a space to grow out one or two different frags for a bigger colony, rather than a lot of different ones.
Ive never seen anyone with this one in their tank.Tom, so you like the look of it?
 
I might have to get one. I'd like to find a rack thats got water tight magnets for both sides. It'd be cool to hang a rack off my overflow setup.
This one has that type of magnet. They are very small but super strong. The one on the rack itself is inset and sealed also.
 
Mine are on the back wall, the back magnets are in my AIO section and some of them are submerged. Somewhere I read that their magnets were waterproof. Hope I got that right, now I need to go double check.
Yep they are Tom. Mine are on my backwall too. Some are buried in rock rubble and are still sealed up and going strong.
 
Scratch that! I dont have to reach out! Good job Tom! I'm gonna be shopping with them pretty soon I think!
Great customer service and they just blend in so well with the tank. My torches are on their single rock magnetic racks.
 
Forgot to mention, when I was in ER they apparently figured out I had Uronema because part of my treatent was two IVs of Metro.
Now that's a smart reefing joke! Lol
