Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It’s pretty much just on autopilot. I clean the glass every few days, feed the fish daily, feed corals every other day… besides that, I have my dosing dialed in. I top off my ATO too. Nothing major
Received my new Tunze ATO sensor yesterday and swapped them out this morning. Seems to be working again. Customer service was top notch, replacement under warranty was hassle free.
 
My daughter picked "Little Bear" in Korean I think. I don't remember what it is though. 😂
Ironically, it would be on a grill in Korea.

Glad to hear that!
 
So… just a SWAG here, but you like peppers?
i sauce, pickle, grill, and what ever else i can come up with, there is a special project i have this year once the plants mature and really get popping
 
The raccoons got blueberries, black raspberry’s and grapes today and were going nuts but they treated the grapes like toys rolling them around. They are growing fast! Can’t keep their water clean, they wash all their food in it including their puppy chow.
 
Well enough stalling got to get these torches back on the Rock, they have been in the sand for a few days and apparently they don’t mount themselves. 😢

Mounting, gluing, attaching corals to rockwork are my least favorite things to do in the hobby. That's exactly why the new tank is going to be a frag tank lol

My least favorite as well especially these large colonies, they are so top heavy. I’m going to shorten the skeleton so hopefully it will be smidge easier!
 
It was closed when I created a shadow over it while removing the lid and then was partially opened. I was amazed at the color from top down vs the side.

Yessir! Squishing that huge colony and all that putty into place drives me nuts Kevin. No matter how short of a drive that is
