Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
If someone has a mostly softie tank magnesium and calcium aren’t as important. If it’s heavy lps and/or sps it’s a lot more important. Torches, frogspawn and hammers seem to thrive with higher magnesium at around 1400.

Very allergic to cats just amazed at the beauty of your tank.
Would be sneezing if that were the case. ;)

You know, I know people say you shouldn’t do it, I gave my cat a bath the other day. I have to tell you, the cat enjoyed it and I enjoyed it except that his fur kept sticking to my tongue.

My allergy is so bad I remember when we were looking for a rental and the agent opened the door to the house and my throat siezed up.
I started sneezing. He says oh this is nice they never had pets it was against their lease.
We all looked at him, tried to laugh and told him no way, sir not buying that one.
Never even set foot in the place.
 
So wife went with me to LFS today.
Puffer wasn't looking too hot.
Yellow coris wrasse was digging everything up and flashing everywhere like a spaz.
But.....
She fell in love with a long nose hawkfish.
Going over the fact that it doesn't play well with others, can possibly jump the tank and other things, she liked its chill persona and it came right up to her.
I told her they can be bi polar but she wants something that won't invade space and won't take crap from our old cranky clown.
I have to hand it to her she's a smart gal.
She also wants something to eat these worms.
She gave the yes to the purchase so I'll get it tomorrow.
Crossing fingers on compatibility.
 
I definitely love the neon gsp. Planning a rock for it.
I really have a lot of that I should/will send you some when you are ready.

That's awesome! Good luck with him I hope it goes well!
 
It is a beautiful Coral
Under the right conditions it grows rapidly.
Your tank is large so less worries just be careful where you let it go!
