Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Another question lol, is this enough to move the water or should I do it manually

Should be good, I just bought a cheap power head and heater to mix mine.
 
Are those multiple rice cookers Luis?
Yes sir, and 1 inside the house, 1 for rice, 1 for beans or soup and the other one for everything else ;)

Going to head to a new reef store about an hour from my house that I have never been to since we don't have church tonight. They specialize in saltwater so I'm excited!
Pictures if is posible lol, alway want to see others lfs

I’m thinking they eat more rice in Miami then all of China!

We are Cubans lol, if we don't eat rice and beans then we don't eat, joking aside, in Cuba we have very bad eating habits, Here I have learned to eat many other things that are not eaten in Cuba.
 
Currently I have 2 clownfish, Flasher Wrasse, Carpenter Wrasse, Firefish, tailspot, 3 Springeri Damsel, neon bar goby and Scissortail goby. Will these I am thinking about for my next order be ok?

I loved my cleaner wrasse, I would make a fist with an opening from my thumb and index and he would swim in like it was a grouper’s mouth.

I would love to try some authentic Cuban cuisine. My sister in law is from Venezuela. I asked her to make authentic food. It was awful, laterI learned that she not only a terrible cook but doesn’t cook at all.

If you ever come to Miami, my house has the doors open ( mi casa es su casa ), I'm bad at many things but not cooking lol

Leaving now Luis!
 
Ok so going to skip mandarine for now and the cleaner wrasse.
I would consider copperband more expert lvl unless you knew the vendor and they had taken the time to condition on a variety of food and is eating heartedly. If you research, you will see why. But if you can source the right vendor, a great addition to the tank.
 
What if I did some Anthias instead of those two? I have read they are peaceful and do well with others like them? I do plan on a tang or two but they will be last ones to go into to the tank.
Anthias are great. You need to research on which ones mix well. I am doing three Lyretail from the same region - one male and two female. However, Dylan has been conditioning them for over a month so they became a harem and also waited to see if one of the females tried to out dominate the male and turn because he wasn’t sure on one of the females.

Yay - I hope this becomes your go-to store! You really need one so you don’t have to order fish online!
