What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I read between the lines and knew immediately weird was directed at me. I’m just happy to be included for a change! 😉
Definitely talking about myself lol

Do you guys think I should add more rock to my pico to have more room to place coral's or should I just leave it as is and place coral's where I can? I just feel like it's missing something and it may just be that it needs more corals and more time for them to grow in. I do also have one of the coral plug holders that look like a rock maybe I could place it along the back but make it look like it's touching the other rocks?
Looks like a nice main structure to me Amanda. You can always add more islands down the road as you need them. And there are always side racks if you want to go that route. I think this gives you a nice base structure, but you still have room and can add as you want

Thank you!
 
I bet that gorgeous anemone comes with a big price tag especially since it's rare.
Petco has them lol. You'll have to show it some love to get it as nice as Paul's though

I'm definitely going to stop at all the ones in Asheville next time I make the trip!
 
I think it's an ultra orange. found it at Petco of all places. it grew really quick.
I saw some at my local petco this weekend. I was extremely tempted, but ai have no sandbed left and idk if they'll sting my corals.

possibly a small glass box of sand in there and a small rock for it to nest under might keep it happy. it could sting other corals but mine is far enough away from others.
 
wow, 1/2"?
Maybe and I'm totally smitten with him or her! It likes to hang out in the front corner of the tank closest to me it can get.
