Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have a nice shady area and I for sure I want some on the sand I have purchased some zoas that will be shipping with whatever I buy tonight next week.
I keep my Blastos under an overhang - mostly shaded.
 
I like los of color and movement is a plus as well. I really miss the ones that got eaten as they had movement and some color.
Did I miss something? What got eaten?
 
Did I miss something? What got eaten?
She had a couple get eaten by either Peps, Emeralds, or fishes. Probably Peps or Emeralds.

Torches, frogspawn, hammers, duncans gsp on their own rock island.
 
Did I miss something? What got eaten?
My two torches and my hammer. I thought it was the emerald crabs but I took them out after the torches got eaten then my hammer got eaten so I'm thinking maybe the shrimp so I plan on removing them as well.
 
How much room? It's 125 gallons with not many corals...
I have 4 in my 70... It all depends on how frequently you're willing to frag them. Some are slower growers, some are faster. Hollywood Stunner grows fast and will attack.

Who's the sale with?
 
That's where I was thinking of putting one. I have an over hang that's got a nice shady place.
Blastos like to be on a rock but not a lot of light. Mine sit on a rock in the sand under the overhang. Merlettis grow fast and are usually prettier in my opinion. Wellsi are bigger polyps but slower growers and tend to be a bit more finicky in my experience.

I have a extra rock I can put one on.
 
I figured since the absence of you on this thread. Go and relax Joel and I think a 40 minute foot massage on each foot from your wife is in order but tell her it was Amanda and Jen’s idea.
I’m good with that! I knew it was a slammer when he didn’t answer my how are u post.
 
I have to get an automatic food feeder since I’ll be traveling to SF and very likely surgery soon after.

What does everyone use?
Sorry, I don’t have one.
 
Yup! I hear it's even worse with a diamond goby!
They open a different cave every 2 or 3 days and at night they close it and open it again the next day after the light turns on.

What does everyone use?
Ive been using an Eheim feeder for about a year. Pros and cons with that one. Have an Avast Plank coming this week, which was a bit of a splurge.
