Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I played with the settings on my first one but that was 3 years ago and I don’t remember what settings I settled on, you know the whole dementia thing. When I put the new one in I just went with the preset settings.
Just found the instructions with factory settings.

don't want to try a few berghia yet? that worked for mine. gets you down to a few that you can just finish with FAiptasia or lemon juice.
I'm looking for a butterfly, honestly but they are rather fragile and I prefer not to order them online.
Looking for a Klein or threadfin, both aggressive for Butterflies.
Don't know if one of the docile ones could compete for food.

If my tank ever becomes fish only then a pearlscale butterfly is on the top of my list. Have always wanted one.
 
We got a few more inches of snow today.

Leaving for the airport in about an hour. It's chaotic here. Picture that scene of Home Alone where they are all rushing around trying to make it to the airport in time.
 
Oh my soooooo pretty :star-struck:
Both would look amazing in your tank! I looked up tank requirements and they need a minimum of 50 gallons so you are good to go!

Our flight just keeps getting g delayed. It hasn't even left Tampa yet, and it's supposed to get here at 3pm. I don't know why I can't just go on a flight without worrying about missing our layovers.
