Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I thought about getting some of those with one of my RC orders, but it said they might go after my feather dusters. I do think nassariua snails are cool. Once I stop seeing whelks (maybe someday) I'll probably restock the DT with some.
These have been great. I’m assuming some whelks might get mixed in with others when they are really small.
 
Good night all, hope you are all doing great. I bought a bit of rocks and rearrange the tank as I could with the devil CLOWN. Still I don't know where to put frogspawns. Uglies begins to kick in also.

Flick her nose and tell her "No! Bad girl!" It worked for one of my female clowns. The other one I just tossed on the ground... Long story, she's fine and my oldest fish still.
 
Good morning folks. It's been crazy busy here, and, stressful. However, there's good news with the tank! Everything is doing great, and, my single female clown is being hosted by my duncan! It's super cool watching her swim through it. Now, here's the question. Leave her single or get her a mate?
 
yeah, I always appreciate the flow, lighting, feeding, care, on all the websites that have that. supposedly chalice is easy right? I really need photo synthetic stuff that would appreciate some food not required to feed it. I am going to have to do a lawn mowing again. I have some gha that grows in the back corner and hard to reach where the Kenya is. I think tomorrow I will do this and do a little WC. maybe prep another jug too. want to try and get back into a routine of WC. been kind of lax with health stuff going on.
Which Chalice?
 
Good! Cucumbers still in there. Still deciding what I want to do with it. I think I might pull it out, as my tanks too new. It is cool though. My sand was supposed to come yesterday now it's Monday again. So right now its a tank with rocks. Haven't done much wkth aquascaping yet either. Gotta figure out if my zoa rock from my 8g is worth bringing over. Lots of brittle stars and mini feather dusters, but also aptasia, bubble algae and lots of gha/possible diatoms.
Good morning Mike!

Good morning Walker, get a male about half her size. A bonded pair is always awesome.

I think I'm going to look into getting another... I love that she hosts it, and obviously from the picture the duncan doesn't seem to mind!
Mine occasionally try out my gsp as well.
