Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I usually buy a few things together and sometimes BRS is the only one that has all of the items in stock, otherwise I use others.
Most of the time I’m dealing with the manufacture . BRS almost always takes way too long

I used to go to Top shelf Aquatics and occasionally still do . But they are a hour and a half away . Got nothing out this way . Except Daytona which is a hour away .
 
Did you have a six line or a eight line ?
I was told by Tim that the eight line is a lot docile

It’s a six line for sure. I may have got lucky or he will turn into a murdering psychopath some people say just randomly. Part of the reason I think he may be chill is there are a lot of rock caves in my tank and they each live on one side of the rock (six line on the right rock cave structure and gramma on the bottom left side). We shall see though.
 
So I purchased my 6 line before I knew so many people had so many problems with them lol & my tank has a lot of caves in the rockwork but I have not seen any aggression from him whatsoever. When I got him he was the smallest fish in the tank & the only thing he does is love to swim in loops or circles around my Hawkfish around the rockwork like he is on an upside down roller coaster (lol) but he does not dart at him or nip at him and surprisingly he has stayed pretty calm with my Royal Gamma even though people say they are usually mortal enemies.
I’ve had multiple ones over two decades and have never had an aggression issue and I’ve had them with my royal gramma. I was kinda shocked my second go around everyone was dumping on them here on R2R. It was on my must have list..
