Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Do you like the cube? I like the idea of a cube but dunno what I think about not having a long side ya know?
Yes, I really like the depth. Had thought about the 150 (36x48) but would have been hard to access side doors in this space.

I think i like the cube look, almost enough to start something up in a cube.. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: possibly something small plumbed up to my existing system that way i can enjoy a nano-esque without the nano problems lol

I didn't do anything fun today but I had a couple of boxes waiting for me when I got home. My ATO and my missing order from LiveAquaria both showed up this afternoon.

Nice! I love when orders come in! They didn't leave a live animal on your front steps for you to find did they..? :eek:

I don't think so...?
I didnt know liveaquaria did dry goods :thinking-face: although to be fair, I basically use them to read basic care instructions for new fish I'm interested in
 
Ugh. I found someone type of flatworms on my Duncan. I'm thinking acoel. Guess I'll be getting a yellow corris wrasse soon. @kevgib67, does yours leave your cleaner shrimp and most of your CUC alone?
Yes it doesn’t even look at them but I haven’t seen a copepod on my glass since I got it.

Yeah, they're usually my first stop for fish care/stats before I purchase anything.
 
I'm assuming that means live animal on my front porch?
I fixed it already GDI! you keep me on my toes with this autocorrect stuff. :face-with-rolling-eyes:

Did anything make it in the liveaquaria package.
 
What is that bottom picture? And do you have a normal non feeding picture? It reminds me of those puff ball mushrooms that blow spores when you step on them :face-with-tears-of-joy:
