Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That looks delicious but sounds too hot for me. Lol
Nah. I'ma hafta ask for Thai Hot next time. It made my nose dribble a little but not a single tear or drop of sweat. How can they even call it hot???!!?
 
Our lawn is just mud
I could make my lawn mud as well but my water bill is already high enough without watering dirt and rocks.
 
Tuesday night is our first rain in a really long time. Last it said was .6 inches then .7" Thursday.
We are getting it today, first time in 2-3 weeks.

Technically, ours isn't mud presently. Just most of the year. If I stopped spending money on the tank, I could probably put down sod. So...mud it is.
 
Took a few full tank shots today. The birdsnest is back in the sand because it got knocked off again and I moved the Plum Hammer to where it can start to get more light. Here is one of the shots:

Gorgeous Tom!!!!!
 
Dude, you guys have a chessie?! Also super awesome!
She's a beautiful dog but her likeness to a chessie is purely coincidental. 😄
 
Sorry I have been quite I was not happy with the tank is setup for the pea puffer I'm getting so I rescaped it. Still not totally happy with it and have a few other things I want to try but I ran out of time tonight. This has been a hard tank to scape because it's tall and narrow. I just feel like the piece of driftwood I have in it right now is too wide and takes up too much substrate space. I think spider wood would be better but the pieces I have are too big and I don't want to cut them. Lol First picture is now, 2nd is before.
