Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I usually feed dry in the morning and frozen in the evening but I gave her mysis soaked in Vitachem, Selcon and Garlic Extreme. She ate until she had a baby bump.
Mine readily eat frozen, flakes, pellets, freeze dried, liquid, and live.... There's a reason Jojo calls them "Pig Wrasse".
 
Just kidding, look who greeted me this morning! Ate like a pig @JoJosReef .

Great buddy!! My wife found my fairy wrasse on the floor one day. Luckily it was in time. I immediately went and paid waaaay to much for a lid from kraken reef lol. I'm so glad the wrasse has returned!
 
Headed to the LFS. It's their 2 year anniversary celebration sale. Raffles and giveaways and stuff. I'm buying some Reef Chowda. Probably no fish or anything but it all depends.

Thanks John, I don’t think anything can jump out with the lid on my tank but I did find my missing clown fish living the dream in the third chamber in the back of my tank. He was quickly returned to the dt.

Let's see that will power in action!

For the record, I hate Chromis. They're ugly.

So Will is your power that you buy fish that you hate and think are ugly?
 
Looks like 1 male and 2 female based on coloration unless I'm totally wrong in which case who knows...

Those aren’t ugly! Take it back.
 
And I don't really have anything under my tanks other than their filters. I keep stuff I use often on shelves in my house and stuff I rarely use in totes in our storage building. I do have nets hung under each aquarium in the door by that's pretty much it. The second picture is the one where I keep old towels I use just for the aquariums but they are dirty. I have other supplies I plan on buying eventually that will go on that one as well.

And mean if I remember right
Not really mean. Some do. But ugly? Absolutely! All of them do. Kinda like Tiger Barbs and Red Barbs...
