Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
How did you attached rock on the back glass or on the right glass?
If you zoom in really close and look behind the Pink (green) Cadillac you'll see the bracket hanger I printed. 4mm wide.

The rack is a little precarious just because I have 3/4" glass but it's never fallen and I've bumped it a couple of times. He uses super strong magnets. It's an awesome product. His newer ones are epoxy or something. Really a cool company with some cool aquascapes.
 
Nice products on the website. If an acro mini colony RTN fully all white now, I should keep it in the tank ?
I always do. I've had a couple come back.
 
Thank you very much to all, I really appreciate it, but keep talking as usual please. How are the tanks today?
Mine's doing well. I just got back home from picking up a small clown for my final fish. I will post pictures in a few minutes.

Do you think clowns could live in a nem inside this?
Didn’t work for me! My nems abandoned that quick lol

Hands off my tank today. I do my water changes and maintenance on Thursdays when I’m off and my wife works a 12 hour shift. I put away all the evidence before she gets home. She thinks my tank is self sustaining. How’s your tank, with everything going on I’m sure you haven’t had time to baby it?

these days just feeding, With all this I have not stopped at home but at least I have the habit of feeding at 7 pm and that gives me coverage, the dozer is helping a lot in this moment too
 
Hi All,
Entire weekend is helping daughter with both babies as hubby is on business trip.

Wont have time to read the pages and pages of all the threads till later.

Just poppin in to say happy weekend and hope all is well.

I did reply to Armand’s thread on new fishy arrivals as I thought time sensitive in those first 72 hours of arrival.

I have not had any form of Mexican food or anything that could be a naked taco in 3 days! Help!!!

Welcome back Jen! You were missed.
 
Here are some pics of my clown! He is very active in the water column already! @kevgib67, is your TSB aggressive at all? He has gone up to the clown and "hit" him a few times. I don't see any damage to the clown, but I find it very weird.

That is strange. No no aggression noted but it was the last fish added and the rest have been in there for over two years. A clown should hold its own with most fish and especially a tailspot blenny. Sounds like you have a feisty one!

I guess I do! I am happy though, because the clown seems like he could care less, and he's not even attacking back which makes me think that I picked a peaceful one!
