Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Props! I never finished it, I was young and terrible at games lol maybe when I have some time again one day I'll give it a shot.
Not too bad! I think it's just because I have grown up playing shooters like that and used to play Halo and Call of Duty semi-competitively, so that helps!

Looking forward to seeing the new corals in your tank!
 
She means well... everyone needs love including my hideous alien 😍
I have one as well but mostly he just sticks his legs out and grabs good as it goes by.

They're fun and different then anything else in our tanks!
 
Good morning everyone!
Happy Friday 😊
Enjoy your day!
Peace ✌️
I’m late to the party but same to you Joel!
 
My first one came from Aquarium Arts, a not-so LFS. It only lived about two months but did yeoman work while here. The next three (I ordered four but one was DOA) came from Reef Cleaners. One is still active one we lost a few days ago and one may or may not still be in there. I don't look for them often. I just ordered three from Reef By Steele which will be here next week.

According to Tim, another NSLFS, Ocean Floor also has them from time to time. Most LFSs look at me like I have two heads, three eyes and purple hair when I mention Pithos. Too bad as I like them much more than Emeralds.
Question Tom if I may, don’t answer if I may not. Mine are active when I put food in but most of the time stay in the sand. I don’t have any bubble algae but I never have seen one on the rocks. Do your climb your rocks to eat algae?
 
Kind of a weird offer as many, if not most, nudibranchs have very narrow feed requirements. It would be nice to know if the nudibranchs they ship you can live in your tank.
you know, they sell basket/feather stars that no way will survive. which makes me wonder how they even survive when they get them in at their shop if no one immediately purchases them. I've tried dolabella twice. the first was a doa, the second lasted maybe 10 days.
 
Great insight.

It kind of reminds me of some of the trails around Scottsdale but it could easily be hundreds of places in southern Arizona.

same here. I now have bubble a. but mine never climbed on the rocks really. they always navigated the bottom edge of the tank.
