Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Top shelf aquatics.
I think they have the highest quality corals and every time I order form them everything is packed very well and arrives alive.
Got my first order from them during all the Black Friday/Holiday sales and I couldn’t agree more! Not one stupid ‘one polyp’ frag - all were generously sized, fluffy, happy and not hitchhikers!

And I found snow. Sorry Kev.
No problem, I saw snow the whole ride home from work, 1 1/2 hours long, looking at snow on the highway and turnpike. Saw three accidents also.
 
Another good vendor is Riptide Aquaculture. Also Living Reef Orlando.

Yes, Tim introduced me to Riptide last month for their live sale and again, wonderful quality, really nice variety and pricing was very very reasonable. Plus the owner seems really genuine.

I’m still an OG fan of WWC and always will be cause they got me started in this hobby. I only buy during Live sales ( same with TSA though), as both are a bit higher priced. Caveat to all that is I was filling a brand new tank. Moving forward, I might be willing to spend ‘retail’ on a dream coral here and there.
 
Good night y’all.

Have a great day, stay hydrated and know you have a bunch of old reef people rooting for you!
