Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I found a baby rfa under the chalice, also I saved an amphipod that was on the towel. When I put it back in the tank it looked so happy and thankful for a couple seconds before my wrasse ate it.

@WalkerLovesTheOcean , I’m saving the big one for you so you can pick it up after your cruise since you will be driving through north east Ohio when going from the airport to your home. ;)

Thank, smoking a cigar as we speak! I couldn’t be more proud but another mouth to feed in this economy is daunting. :angry-face:
3 new workers for the sump ( trochus )

At least it stays one mouth to feed. Acans, blastos and duncans start as one mouth and end up as 10 before you know it!
 
Oh wow, my mouth is watering! Did you make that or are you at Joel’s restaurant?
I made it and brought some to work. I'd love to eat at Joel's restaurant though!!

I’ve seen his menu, I could find something I wanted every day for a month and not eat the same thing twice. No wonder his restaurant is always so busy.
