Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
those have sounded interesting to me. any down side to them?
Only if you have corals in the sand maybe they move it a couple of times until they have two or three caves and you already know where they are going to be or move sand, I mean the yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp but they always had the sand clean
 
Tuxedo urchin, turbo snails, trochus snails, cerith snails, stomatella snails, fuzzy chitons and cleaner shrimp. For the sand , conches and nassarius snails.
Kevin you nailed it with the stomatella. Those things have even taken some of the coralline of my top rocks! What a cuc all star.
 
That I had a Twin Spot??? Who's been talking?
Everyone Tim. Just about every thread I’m on, no matter the topic, it comes up.
 
So what is everyone having for Thanksgiving this year?

I dunno but did you hear Tim had a Twin Spot Goby for a while?

Of course there is the good ole red starfish that does absolutely nothing to help and as we've all seen before, he gets drunk and falls over in the zoas.

You know, it’s your family member, but don’t you think it’s time for an intervention? By the way, Tim used to have a twin spot goby. Do what you want with that important information.

Well, I know you guys don't insist much and "I'm so hard to convince" ;) I was ready to bring the melanarus, but I think I will bring a twin spot goby first, because I hear don't know where Tim has one in his tank.
