Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm pretty set on wanting clowns so hopefully I will end up getting nice ones and not jerks.
I wouldn’t have a tank without clowns!
 
If I had my dream tank I would have one trigger, a French angel and an annularis angel.
That's it.
Live rock, clean up crew.
300 gallon tank.
Maybe a Koran.
 
Yup that is a great solution if you have a fish causing problems. I did the same thing
Thank you I forget sometimes that I can trade them in at my LFS if I get them and they don't work out.
 
Oh wait I can't do that if I can only have one blenny then it's got to be a tailspot or @kevgib67 will not be my friend anymore.
Our friendship is on a very thin line solely dependent on a tailspot blenny, don’t blow this!
 
Out of all the tangs I've had, my yellow has been the most chill.
All fish end up having their own personality although I will say that most of the time the overview of each fish is usually spot on.
But there are exceptions and your tank is big enough to experiment a bit if you wish.
I have a picasso trigger that's a big baby but mostly they're terribly behaved.
Just never know.
 
It’s funny that I already had a tailspot before I met @kevgib67. If I didn’t have one I am sure he would have convinced me enough that I would be forced to get one to stay here. Lol

I would love to take credit but it was the evil @Katrina71 that started the madness!
