Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I went to only 1 game in my life. It was commanders VS cowboys a year ago. Enjoy the super bowl.
I have never been to a pro football game.
I'm jealous.
 
Good morning, something odd happened today. Yesterday I realized I don't have seaweed food for the tailspot. So this morning I went to a LFS and I bought a rock too as I want to begin to glue my corals. I asked them to put a bit of water as last time there were firefish hidden in the rock and they die before reaching home as I didn't know there were fish inside. What a surprise when I saw a little head in a hole of the rock at home, now I have a 2nd tailspot he was in really bad shape, now it seems better but for sure it was a bad move from the shop to my place.

What an awesome hitchhiker to find! Hope the little guy recovers completely for you!

Hopefully it had a cloudy eye but no more and something on one gills which seems also to disappear. It looks fine now on its hole. The one from yesterday still didn't go to the rock and stay on the back glass ( I saw him feed on the wave maker cable but not the seaweed pellet) . The good thing is they stay on opposite side of the tank as I don't know if they can coexist if they realize the presence of each other. The midas doesn't care on the one staying on the glass near its cave.
 
I keep looking at this.

It is a beautiful piece of equipment. I hesitated with red sea and water box. Red sea, I saw too many seams issue. So I went with my reason to not spend too much on a first tank but really hesitate with a smaller water box. With your experience it can be piece of art.
 
9ers
What about you?
9ers also. The owner of the 9ers lives in my town and her brother used to own them but was told by the NFL he couldn’t after he was caught using a bribe when he was trying to open a casino in Florida. When I was in 8th grade my mother worked for them and her and the rest of the employees were given 4 Super Bowl tickets and he rented luxury buses that took me, my brother, my stepdad and stepbrother to the silver dome in Detroit for the Super Bowl, 9ers against the Bengals.

What a great hitchhiker! I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone keeping two. Keep us updated! If this works out well, @Katrina71 may have a tank dedicated to a school of tail spot Blennys.

I love the look of a peninsula, and definitely would be a great option!

Yeah they look awesome. I was looking on the innovative marine website but I couldn’t find anything on this top part of the tank. It makes it look really cool.

Very sleek looking. In that picture, having it against the wall kinda defeats its purpose. It needs to be a room divider which can be viewed from 3 sides.
