Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I don't think my 25g is big enough unfortunately.
When I was reading about them, maybe yes but I didn't see any minimum tank for them.
 
What I can tell you is that they don't stop, I can see her on one side of the tank and in a short time she's on the opposite side.
Thats a fact. Always busy, and can fit into any crevice
 
I saw a bunch of these critters in my wife's tank. They're on the edge of the glass in the sand bed. They burrow almost like ants. Hopefully yall can see the video. Amphipods maybe?

I can’t see the video, you might want to put it on YouTube, copy and paste but your description does sound like amphipods.

Sorry John when I zoom in it gets blurry. I could be wrong but from what I can make of the picture they don’t look like amphipods to me. I would love a YouTube video though. Let’s call in the big gun, @ISpeakForTheSeas .
