What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@calmwater, knows I like nice things for girls, but for me I like simple, classy, cloths and shoes and I love silver bling(she calls it)...chain, braclets, watches....and I have a lot of routines and standards...food I like plain jane, pizza #1...bbq, and Italian home made, small batch bourbon and stella. Not a big out to diner dude, but we do go once in a while but it is like I am at work, always updating situation in room and actions of others...
My kind of style totally!
 
no not either of them...limited edition corals...looked u the address for ya...3414 s 48th st #3. near the airport...
Ahh. LE. They've got some decent ads. Never been to their store. Decent stuff?
 
ladder I got at home depot...in front of the 300
Mine has the top tray and middle tray to put things on. Old gals need that stuff, plus feet have really nice rubber shoes - thus thing isn’t going
Thank you!
here it is in action. Ignore flying Oyster Eggs in water - feeding time; and film on glass in front of sand - im 3days past my normal glass cleanup

yes I like it. , they are on my list. always something different than the other locals...for example yesterday he has about 50 wrasses in two tanks, several different kinds...has a shark in a big tank. has a good frag tank. also has different dry good items then the others...tanks are clean... most of the time has a very wide range of clean up crew items. has a lot of nem, feather duster etc...worth the trip...for something new....for example the wrasse was 80 bucks..resonable,,,,

tank is waking up...but hmm...I don't see the peppermint shrimp..hope they did not become a snack...and the two new wrasses are still sleeping in...lol...other two are out...
My Peppermint Shrimp were rarely out during the day. Not sure if they're true nocturnals but they were out during lights out and hiding in caves during the day usually.

They love to hide upside down under a shelf. He’ll come out when u feed meat at some point
 
I did not get the CCB yesterday. I did get the last two peppermint shrimp at a place and scored a male ornate leopard wrasse ( my girl wanted it) and a small christmas wrasse. I thought the colors were amazin...Added 10 pounds of caribsea sand to the far back left of the tank for them if they want that to be their home. I already have 10 pounds in far right back for the other 2 wrasse, a female leopard and a yellow coris. Everyone gets along as of yesterday.. The sunrise dotty was a little ticked and defended his cave area but all is good. The two new wrasses did go to sleep in the leftside last night..Hope eveyones coffee is super amazing today..
My LFS had a Xmas wrasse the last time I was in; beautiful little fish!

My peppermint shrimp is out and about all day. I guess one benefit to smaller tanks is less room for him to hide ha. He and the cleaner shrimp swap out hanging out on the ceiling of the big cave.

My pistol shrimp on the other hand; I may catch a glimpse of him and the goby every few days at feeding time.
 
Ok Dude - u getting toast with plain butter, scrambled eggs also plain, and strong Greek coffee. Maybe a pastry on the side..
Speaking of toast, I used to make really good toast until I lost the recipe!
