Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'd just go with it for now. I really like your placement fir it. Low-mod light & flow. See how "nature" goes.
 
Most you should be able to easily remove then. Super glue?
Yes I normally cut the leg part of the frag plug of and then glue them to the rocks. I guess I could pry them off if need be but it would be hard to move one that's encrusted a rock.
 
Good morning peeps! I don’t know if you remember me, it’s been 6-7 pages since I last posted. You all kept me up later than I stayed up for New Year’s Eve and woke up a little after 9:00 am. I can’t remember the last time I woke up that late! Took me a while to jump on because I had 82 alerts to go through. The dog, birds ( bird feeders were empty) and fish were angry because they were starving.

We have an extreme heat wave going on and I didn’t have to wear a coat when I was filling the bird feeders. Thank god it was raining, cooled me off. Fortunately the searing heat ends today!

My Bond Villain tank is 110g tall
I'm probably going to sell my 110. I've got a 90 with an internal overflow I'm going to put in that stand and do a freshwater planted tank with a Betta sorority and a nice male Betta in the sump.
 
Anyone know how far away from my anemone is safe for me to put a coral?
My Joker picked a spot and won't leave but he wanders in about a 6"-10" circle attacking everything it can reach from those vantage points he calls his own. However, Jokers and Nexus are the rare exceptions to BTAs I believe, most wander frequently.
 
This is what I was thinking they would each be on their own rock but the rocks are touching. It's an entrusting stylo if that makes a difference.
My recommendation:

It’s 11:42 am, are all your inhabitants teenagers?
The lights turn on from 2pm to 12am ;) , I can enjoy the tank longer lol since I often get home at night
 
He's a Niger
The best looking Niger I've ever seen!

A Niger was the second fish I ever bought (first was a Blue Damsel just to be sure the water wasn't too toxic). I had that Niger for 5 years until I moved out of state and sold everything. Still my all time favorite fish but I haven't owned one in decades.
 
I didn't think I would care for this coral rack but I kind of like the way it looked glowing in the light last night. I don't think I would want it in the tank all the time but i can tolerate it until i get the corals placed.

Woah! I don't know if I can understand this Amanda. You know I love crazy neon colors. My imagination is going wild.
