Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That’s great but I heard your cooking classes are a little pricey. Could you knock off a little $ if I bring you a birdsnest frag? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s worth every penny it’s just, you know, the economy and all.

Seeing your chalice so close to other corals is making me super nervous now! ha
 
the brain on drugs thing would of definitely worked better on the next page... :thinking-face: :grinning-face-with-big-eyes:

Ya, took out my first acan . I’ve fragged it now and will need to stay diligent. I know the way those sweepers go in the flow. How’s your acan recovering?

Deal.
See you Sunday.
Don't be late.
 
What is one thing that you have always wanted to get for your tank but worried you can’t take care of it or it would destroy something, etc?
I would absolutely love to have a blue maxima clam, I love them but not nearly enough par in my tank to sustain one :crying-face: .
 
A clip on MH would fix that
Yes, I’ve thought it through but my tank being mixed with a couple sps with less par demand I could keep the clam and bleach out all the rest. Good news my gofundme account for a much larger tank where I could have much more variable light intensity hit $.36 last month!
 
I really want a large angel preferably a French like I used to have so that would be my big disaster.
That would be awesome.

I have always wanted a linkia starfish but I heard they were impossible to keep. I will try it one day.

Oh yeah those are really cool. I also want one of those. Are they hard to keep? How much par?

How far is a drive to Knoxville?
