Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Since no one wanted to share their wisdom, I made the decision to add the damsel.

How large is the new tank btw? Also what brand. Is it new used etc?
 
I did share my wisdom
Sorry didn’t read to catch up before posting. It’s a spingeri, one of the more passive damslels like a yellow tail. My female clown is and always the boss of the tank. I get it about to many fish but it is already acclimating. It if becomes a problem I’ll remove it. I thought three fish in this tank would be pushing the limit. 😉

coffee time here. Well the panel seam separation is getting worse. Where the side panel meets the front panel at the bottom corner is now almost half the panels 3/4 thickness.
Going to have a 7 footx40X24(or22) tank made with internal overflow box on leftside, so penisula tank.
Some how I got kicked out while typing so ...edit
I am planning to drop the stand height so that overall tank and stand will be around 55 inches or so , making it easy to view from top.
Going to try and get my hands on some ati Straton X and make this open top .

Nice tank and nice acquisitions. Springeri are pretty mellow for a damsel. Should be no problem.

Good morning Rumple!

Been home for 4 days now, Doc says got a inner ear infection, on the side of the ear drum that they can not see with a normal exam. and if the meds dont work then it is something else .
They would then have to go through my nose with a camera and travel all the way to the other side of my ear drum to see if there is a blockage. Some times a small growth happens and puts pressure on the canal.
They would then have to get it out.
I learned that you can get inner ear infection from allergies, cold and tap water or any kind of water that goes up you nose !!! Told me tap water is bad only use saline to rise out your nose when you have allergies .
Thinks that caused my issue...
The meds are really messing me up..day 4 now...
wow...never new...
