Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well, let me pick your brain. I have a 40 gallon tank with all peaceful fish. With my current stocking, (Fairy Wrasse, 2 pj cardinals, blue sapphire damsel, tsb and scooter blenny. My nitrates and phosphates are always on the low side, so I don't think I'm too overstocked right now. Do you think I might be over doing it?
I’ve had 7 fish in my 32g forever, you’re fine.

Me too, kinda a spinoff of the Flinstones, the father worked in a quarry like Fred. I loved that the baby called his father not the momma.
