Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I almost bought two of these today... A Yellow and a Pink.
It's not to late! Man, theyre awesome corals and look unique in any lighting. There's all this stigma around NPS being super difficult. I find that they like a little extra flow and I usually target mine 3 or 4 times a month. It's right by the feeding hole and I add oyster eggs to the tank.
 
Not interested? That'd be a banger in the coralland. Or a bigger colony in the 70
Interested, yes. Considered it for sure. I might still grab some later.
 
Good morning and Happy Friday!

Been up since 2:00 this morning doing this and that but mostly that. Ahhh, the joy of a boy who has never slept well. Yes, I guess you can call me a joy boy and, maybe even, a fun-time joy boy. (IYKYK)

Wishing you all a fabulous Friday!

Good morning Chris! Doing public school math and based on your last post and your first post this morning you are going on just over two hours sleep, if you slept at all. How do you do it, inquiring minds want to know? I’m picturing the last scene of Scar Face.

Imagine trying to do that calculation with private school education, like I have, it would be impossible
