Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hope everyone has been well. Tank is doing alright. Aptasia is a problem but coral monsters (best retailer) has my back. She'll be sending me my replacement hammer and a nudibranch for the glass anemones no shipping cost.

Black and white I'm going to keep them both in my acclimation box for a little while so it will be easier to keep an eye on them. I see lots of pods in my sump so hopefully there is also a good population in the tank for him to much on but I am going to order more just incase.

Was he eating frozen or pellets at the lfs? There's absolutely nothing mine wont eat. He's not picky at all.

I didn't think to ask! I probably should have he was super active. I thought they would only eat pods but if he eats other stuff that would be great. I have some very small pellet food that will be a good size for him.

Id be extremely surprised if he didnt eat pellets or frozen food.
 
Any suggestions on adding the Tomini to the tank. He’s kinda small and I’m worried the yellow tang will make life difficult. I know the mirror trick, don’t have one need to hit Amazon up. So the plan, put the new tang in an acclimation box until the mirror comes. Any other Ideas? I’m looking for someone with experience tell me to just add it and it will be fine because I have the patience of a child.

I would say put it in the box see if the yellow even pays it any attention then if it doesn't let it go. If the yellow acts like a jerk put him in the acclimation box for a time out.

Keep in mind I also have the patients of a small child...
 
Morning everyone! I just woke up to momma saying its time! Send prayers please!
good luck and best wishes. Was it the snow?
Mills was on my initial flight from DC but it got delayed because they couldn't keep up with the snow and she got another flight. delayed flight by 3 hours. but now there's a blizzard coming so I'm glad I'm back before that.
