Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm trying to brainstorm ideas of making water changes easier. Other than cost considerations it's my only concern with going larger.
Next week I'm going to buy a 10g bucket and it would be super easy, mix the salt near the tank, a return pump with a hose and that's it ;)
 
Okay so battle with aiptasia is ongoing.

GSP is not happy but that stuff can grow in a toilet so I'll keep you updated on the progress.
It did raise ph a bit so that's bueno.

It'll also raise alkalinity since it is Kalk paste you're making.

Do you have a lot of it Joel? I don't know if it would be right for your tank, but I took @tbrown s advice and hit it with boiling water and killed it instantly, but I was only targeting a few
