Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Looks good Walker, is that an elegance on the right side? That is like my glass when I got home on Thursday.
Duncan. One of my favorites. Got it dirt cheap too, I think it was under 30 for over 10 heads.
 
What a beauty! I thought you just had hunting dogs.
Heavens no let me show you my pets that don't hunt. Top to bottom they are Maggie, Ruby, Tiny, Toby, Hannah, Rebel, Bentley and Tara.

No rabbit hunting with the beagle?
 
No rabbit hunting with the beagle?
Maggie (the 1st beagle) was a rescue from the shelter and was not interested in hunting and Rebel (2nd beagle) is both lazy and scared of guns going off.
 
I am thinking of getting a porcelain crab for my tank. Seeing Tim get an anemone crab makes me really want one. I also saw a porcelain in person at the aquarium I went to recently, and it was stunning. I have wanted one for awhile, but I am just nervous. I just don't know how it would do. I have a RFA that it could host. Any thoughts??

Everyone told me to do it...

I think I read they'll be hosted by RFAs.

That's what I've read too. I am just worried it won't have enough to eat.
