What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'll get through the whole thing Kev!
Wow Joel, you would be the first to make it all the way through all 3 1/2 pages of my thread! You just might do it. My reaction score is going through the roof.

Your tank is probably one of the most beautiful tanks I've ever seen.
Period.
As my friend I owe it to you to see the progress of how it got that way.
It is exhausting reading all 3 1/2 pages though. ;)
 
This is as clean as my tank has been in a long time.

I've been struggling with a restlessness with my tank and cleaning off a lot of crap everywhere has made me love it again.
I'm going to have to get some more snails for Moe.
He's destroyed all his toys and I don't have any more little rocks for him to move around.
Wish they sold mini saltwater safe dog toys. ;):rolleyes:

Thank you, I’m sure you dosed off more than a few times!

Not really.
I find what you did fun and kind of fascinating.
I do miss Katrina and fishy guy though.
Wonder what happened there.
And Remi.
Just disappeared..

Do you think they ran off together? Remi I worry about. Katrina has been on here a long time. I saw a post where someone was glad to see her active again, I think she hops in and out. Fishy guy has not been active in general.
 
Gonis are finicky. They tend to like dirtier water but not nasty. The flow has to be just right and the lighting has to be acceptable.
It's in a low medium flow with about 100 or 125 in par. Unless it's going to make some sort of a weird comeback, it's sure looking like a loss. Everything around it is thriving. I may just stick with hammers. :( 20240917_161754.jpg
 
rough day. i lost my little sidekick. he ran behind a truck tire.:loudly-crying-face: his name was goofy. i adopted him from a local shelter several years ago. he wouldnt leave my side. it was a wonderful 6? years. man, ill miss him......

What a precious little dog. My heart hurts for you. I'm really sorry about what you're going through.
 
The first picture is now and the second was then? Is it possible your damsel picked at it? Looks like some of it receded. How fast has it receded?
Yes Walker, the 1st Pic is now and the 2nd was the day I got it. I had actually just gotten the damsel out for beating up another new coral before I added the goni. This has been about 2 weeks in total. Here's today. :(
(Just saw your response lol)
