Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@ESABOE I think you mentioned that you like chocolate tangs? I ordered one that should be here tomorrow it was a special they had that if you ordered so much you got the tang for $10 and free shipping. I was impressed with the way the last order was packed from this place. They were in much larger bags with a much better amount of water in each bag.

Quick update on me and then back to sports and reefing:

Got approved for 2-week intensive PT at a facility in SF Bay Area right where my family is! I go tomorrow.

Family can visit and bring outside food - what more could a gal ask for!

So thank you all again for your support.

Won’t bore you on progress- just know I got this! I will be strolling those grandkids for a walk by August!

And sitting to change filter floss in sump.

Talk about funny life goals - lol.
 
In the LFS that I go to I think I saw 2 or 3 the last time I went, if you want I can ask if they ship
Let me do a bit more research and I will let you know.

That I didn't know so maybe I won't try to find a deal on them lol
You have a large tank that you could allocate enough room if you wanted.

Fantastic Jennifer, you’ll be eating authentic Rice o Roni everyday! Sorry Amanda.
 
What coral should I get to go here
1000005362.jpg
at the top of my rocks where it will get the most light and flow? Something that moves in the flow but is not aggressive preferably.
Hmm, room to grow up in high flow is great SPS territory! If it were me, I'd put a garf bonsai on the left, a grafted montipora digitata in the middle and split the right with some fast growing birdsnest and stylophora. OR a mint potato chip pavona and a pink branching cyphastrea. If you're going for acros, lots more to choose from apart from the bonsai!

Thank you! I will look those up!
 
It didn't say it on the bottle that's why I asked.
Ok, I’m on a significant amount of pain meds - i thought you were talking about brightwell’s coral aminos - were you talking about some random mag supplement?

Either way,, I’ll bow out of this one since I’m clearly not caught up on thread.
 
JK.

June 30th - moonchild all the way!
I went to write your Birthday in my weekly planner calendar ( someone please explain to the younger reefers what that is) I I already had it written down just like @Katrina71 ’s. We went over birthdays a while back.

We love having you around even though nothing you have posted had anything to do with reefing. Sports, tacos, music or made any sense whatsoever. You’ll get a kick out of reading them once you’re off your happy meds but for now I know they all make perfect sense to you. I think I kinda sorta, maybe figured out what you were trying to say in one post.

I bought these because the guys here said my Magnesium was too low and they were saying the coral amino is great for the corals.

Couldn't resist the bubble corals @kevgib67 just ordered them.
Can’t wait to see them in your tank! Give the other corals on the sand some space. Funny, they said the more expensive one was rare because it was green. Must be the only coral that green isn’t the most common color.
