Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That would be great as long as you could feed it. I let one live in a kitchen window until spring. Then she got her 3 day quit and leave notice. 😉
I think @sfin52 occasionally keeps Jumping Spiders also.
 
Happens here too! That’s the dog on the carpet to the left.

I thought the dog was the blanket at first. Then I noticed the real dog! That cat must be something. Keeping that large dog in line. Cats have fun personalities. Mine insists on cuddling every morning. And allows me to trim her nails weekly.
 
Well, maybe I didn’t need Habib after all. He was affordable, $12 a month for four 60 hour work weeks.

They love each other.

I'll take one to-go dish!
 
So my favia has over grown the frag plug. Should I:

A: leave it be?

B: glue it to a piece of rock so it can continue to grow out?

C: tear down the tank and release all the animals into our local pond?

I piut my frag on a lager size rock that I figured it would cover, wife hates color by the way
 
Howdy Mike! How’s the baby?
We're all sick 🥲 but he's doing well. Getting super chubby. Loves momma, tolerates me 😂 his brothers much more dad oriented now though!

They look like King Midas , Google them. They are stunning. I always liked scrambled eggs but these take yellow to a whole new level.
 
I also have a Galaxia, but didn't take a pic of him/her, the Galaxia and hammer, which the pic does not do justice, its 3 headed now (hammer) the Galaxia and hammer, along with the green zoa, have been with me since the too early to add coral days
