Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I've got the mangroves coming tomorrow.

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing but I'm going to put them on the right side.
Supposedly you are not to bury their roots, more let them attach by themselves but I'm going to cover their roots in sand then a little crushed coral so the sand won't fly away.
Maybe just crushed coral but I'm definitely going to slowly acclimate them this time.

I'd like to apologize for my absence these last couple of days. I've been super busy dealing with all that nonsense from the 16" main the other day and then some of that EPA stuff dealing with new Lead/Copper Rules - about 6 hours of meetings for that alone today.
