Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I moved the hammer from the top of my rockwork to the sand bed just for a bit to see how it reacted. It opened more than it did at the top of the rockwork, so I am thinking too much light? That's great to hear! Is the flow any higher there?
 
Flow is another possibility. I keep hammers in medium flow medium light but some people keep theirs in fairly high flow. Low flow makes them close in my experience.
I had it in higher flow, maybe too much flow.
 
What food do you prefer for your zoas, if I may ask?
I don't have a preference. Usually fish poop.

I broadcast feed a mixture of whatever I throw in at the time: Reef Roids, Reef Candy, Coral Cane, Reef Jerky, Benepets...
 
Well I don’t know if Joel is going to be appalled or proud but I turned my left over Amish chicken into chicken parmigiana.

Re-purposing food, especially certain items keeps costs down and actually shows you can cook. ;)

I have never fed mine anything.
I didn't know you were supposed too.
And if I did know, I probably would have screwed that up like only I can. ;) :rolleyes::upside-down-face:

Hey, I'd say whatever you're doing is working. That's what I'm going for right there.
