Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thanks a lot Kevin. I knocked it over several times and got extreme discouraged before I got it right. I've been light acclimating some hammers, mushrooms, and zoas on the sand bed. I'm trying to decide where to place everything on the rock work. I know hammers can be aggressive, so they'll probably go on top of the arch.
My experience is that hammers like low to moderate flow and light. I’m not familiar with your light and flow. You’ll want the polyps to jiggle. My torches I give more flow and light. Sometimes it takes just a little moving around to find the right spot.
 
How do yall keep your glass so clean? Mine is so dirty and very difficult to clean.
I use a tool that Luis showed me from Amazon I have to use it every 2 or 3 days to keep it looking good. I can get the link for you if you want me to.
 
Ha! I'm here to stop that!
I'm here to do the opposite, I wanna make sure we keep spiraling out of control...:winking-face-with-tongue::zany-face:
 
Ah yes, congrats! I sat out that one. Absolutely NO room for more coral, so wanted others to enjoy the loot!
Yeah, me too. He picked me for one of the $25 anyway. :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
I got a $60 gift card for Amazon from a health program thing at work through the insurance and used it to buy a really cute fridge for my office. The one I have now is too small. I like that it has a little freezer that way I can get some frozen fish food for my aquarium there.

I got a $50 Amazon gift card for a work survey. I'm not sure what I got with it. :thinking-face: It was gone before I had a chance to shop. :face-with-tears-of-joy:
