Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It would have been a bit zippier but it started raining. So I backed it off a little and put some down-tempo, chill tunes on.

Good idea. The scariest ride I ever had was I just picked up my 83 911 SC cab after some frame work (I was rear-ended by some moron at a light). It was raining and they didn't get the alignment just right. The shop was forty miles from home and it was raining; hard. Even the least amount of turn would break the rear end loose. White knuckled all the way home. Then back again 25 miles, but on dry pavement, the next day to the race shop I used to maintain the car to get the alignment fixed.
 
So I dont have a picture because he went and hid, but I went to the LFS today and they recently got all the livestock out of a local tank breakdown and I picked up a fat, healthy and eating, "assorted wrasse" for $45. Google lens confirmed it to be a moyers leapord wrasse. So, as @tbrown always suggests, I bought a leapord wrasse! Did a bunch of maintenance on my tank as well. Biocube is about through the uglies mostly. Got some GHA but none of the slimy gross funky stuff. Corals will be moving over shortly. 5 12's has made for a long last few weeks.... im leaving at 4:30 tomorrow to be way down south for 7am tomorrow.

So theres the whole check in haha. How's everyone here?

Did you happen to buy this “there is no substitute” machine new?

I love my leopard wrasse! They are such pretty fish!
 
I've only bought one new car in my life, this ain't it.
I wish someone told me when I was younger not to waste my money on expensive vehicles. Bought a new subaru sti on Dunkin Donuts money at 20 years old. MASSIVE mistake lol. Payment was more than my rent

Hoping that it eats well! It was eating at the LFS and looks to be a mature fish, and the tank that it came from was a well established, mature tank. Its beautiful and has similar facial markings to my radiant that I lost, and I really like that.
