Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning everyone, I have good and bad news. The good news is that the goby and the shrimp already have their cave and are living there, the bad news is that last night when I arrived from my mother-in-law's house I found the blenny on the floor near the tank, I don't know how it happened, the wrasse is in the acclimatization box and no one was attacking him, I feel so sad, He had already won my heart, he was also eating just like the goby, I even thought that the worst was over
I’m not aware that they are jumpers, hmm. @Katrina71 ? So sorry Luis!
 
window screen made from alot of different materials from aluminum, fiberglass, coated aluminum all which are designed to reduce natural light from penetrating. So it will have a reducing effect on the amount of light that will pass through to the tank water. So you may have to crack up the lights...which could make the screens warm as they do get warm when used on windows...Just sharing my thoughts here...ah cup two is ready...
 
can order plastic mesh on Amazon too ? will be back with a link... :)

My favorites, in order: Paris == Vienna, Miami, Nicaragua, Cioccolatino. So help me, if I get one of those coconut-flavored ones, I'm putting your desk in the basement!

Wait, do I have any authority to do that?
 
Thanks, that's awesome, looking into this right now! I lost my fairy wrasse through the screen a couple months ago and looking into smaller screens or acrylic lids before I get any more wrasses.

I would help you move it... or we could wrap his desk in several layers of plastic wrap...
