Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I didn't think this was going to be so difficult and stressful haha, I better wait another week and see what I do. I checked with a guy that create aquascapes and he sent me some photos but it didn't catch my attention.

I love this! I bet it's expensive though...

$650, for me too much, The work for corals is really nice, but that's what Tim and I were talking about, it doesn't have many places for fish, and the truth is I want to have something for both corals and fishes, even if it means I have to put less corals.

Ouch that's a lot of money!

It's not to hard to make some of that yourself with a rock chisel and I have used a blade similer to this to make the split lines to make the rock split where you want (link to recip saw blade). Also saw this blade while looking for that link, might pick this up to try on the next aquascaping project. Oscillating Multi-Tool Carbide Grit Blade. Then just epoxy stuff together. water weld
 
So my anenome went on a walk-about a couple days ago and I couldn't see it anywhere, figured it was under a rock. Was vacuuming sand and the wife was like "the anenome is in the refugium"... Sure enough there it was on a rock. Had to take quite a trip to get all the way into that spot and doesnt look the greatest, but its stuck to a rock. Surprised it didnt just land in the filter sock down there.

What'd you order and where are you getting it from?
Ordered from basically my nearest store with coral which is 2.5 hours away, and have heard really good things locally about them https://newwaveaquaria.com/
Liveaquaria's Divers Den is actually closer (2 hours) but they wont let anyone pickup and ship palletized fedex so it flys across the country before returning to me, its dumb.
