Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
There's a very good chance that she has had her cell service interrupted. In these cases you're saving your phone battery for emergencies. I saw quite a few Mississippi Power trucks headed out on the interstate the day after landfall. They were going to help the affected areas get their power back on. It's a cool thing to see. But they better hurry back because there's another storm coming in about a week
 
maybe 2 a week. you?
yay! looking forward to that!
I haven't had them but a few days. So I far I've only spot fed it once. I've been adding some coral food from the vendor who I bought it from. It's made of human grade freeze dried clams, shrimp, anchovies etc. Almost soon as it the tank, the Cynarina react and open up.
 
Why do you all know her phone number? It's crazy.
Go Crazy what the heck GIF
I got it when Jennifer was in hospice so I could text updates :crying-face: .
 
@luis angel I finally got the orange lens for my phone! Now you guys can finally see the whole tank (for better or worse lol)

What is this one? I'm missing that in my life.

Also that pectinia is going to need to move. When it gets bigger, they start sending out 1, 2, 3 inch sweepers and sting everything!
