Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No clue about lunch but breakfast was a cup of coffee (in my new Father's Day mug from my parents) and a slice of warm, homemade sourdough with a dollop of Becky's honey on it.

That sounds amazing and I love that mug it's so sweet!
 
This morning I did a water change and for one second I looked away from what I was doing and I accidentally sucked a few tentacles of my torch. Overall the torch looks fine and is still open but not all the way. Do you think it will recover?

Part circled in red is the part I siphoned lol

Such an idiot

I think it will be fine just keep an eye on it. I sure it happens all the time with storms in the ocean.
 
Did it rip the tentacles off?
I don’t think they completely ripped off. The ends of the damaged ones are black.

The problem is I leave for Italy in 2 day and won’t be back for almost 2 weeks. Should I just do an iodine dip tonight?

Alright everyone, heading over to my buddy's house. He bought a 160 Aqua Japan and he wants my help... Rock, sand, water, corals, and a Chocolate Tang. At least the picture looks like a Chocolate Tang. Who knows.

Ok sounds good. Would the iodine dip help even if it doesn’t need it? I have seen some of the white tissue receipt overtime on the torch.
