What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Has Bubba's 33 for lunch with my wife and kids then went to Hobby Lobby and looked at clearance pictures. I didn't buy anything this time but I've got a few I'm watching for further mark downs!
Sounds like a great birthday so far!
Is your daughter making you dinner later?
And a cake I hope. ;)

Doubtful on the cake. They've both disappeared since we got home. Supposed to be doing homework. :face-with-rolling-eyes:

But she'll most likely make me some pasta or something delicious for dinner
 
How's everyone’s Monday so far?
All good my friend, a bit of a busy day today but I made all the calls to see if I don't have to work tomorrow, then I got home for another of my hobbies ( After cleaning the tank a little and feeding the fish and corals )

He's a fine one! I couldn't keep my pod populationup so I went with an oscelated dragonet (scooter blenny) that will eat absolutely anything. The dude even eats flakes. Now I have pods everywhere. I love these little benthic bottom bouncers.

Starting blackout tonight.
Good luck! It's going to go swell! I did an almost week long blackout on my current tank back in July to help with Dinos. Nothing died but the dinos. Nothing seemed overly stressed when I pulled the garbage bags off the tank.

Lol. I'll make sure to cover it up completely. It's not possible for me to pull off the covers and algae just regrew right
