Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Does your tailspot eats food at the surface? One is going out of his cave and eat on rock but he seems interested when I give food to others. The other not sure as his main cave is hidden. Today I tried to put algae pellets with a turkey baster directly in their caves.
 
Anyone have experience with pygmy angels? They are one that came up in my search that's recommended to go with clowns. It says they are reef safe with caution which I guess means the may or may not eat corals?
I had one a few months ago. It was a beautiful and peaceful fish but nipped at corals.
Just need to be careful with angels and corals.
 
That's what I was afraid of thank you!
Yeah I have had 2 angel fish. Both nipped at corals. It sucks because they are some of the most beautiful fish. The colors that were on my flame angel were amazing but he was destroying things so, he had to go.

Have a coral beauty.
Never touched a thing....
Cept other fish. Big jerk.
One pygmy never touched anything.
I'd go with a half black again.
Nice little fish.
Little angels are 50/50.
I think adding them last to an established tank is best.

The answer is yes! Lol...even if it means tank #2. What did she ask for?
I still haven’t started a fish list lol, still trying to get plumbing and mixing station 100%. I know I want a clown, so I’ll start there and build a list/ do research once I get the tank filled and cycling :)

I know she will want a clown
