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

Joel, I know this one comes in late (swing shift today), but you nailed it my friend! I wish I'd thought of them the other day for you lol. No other outfit I know could claim Ska father status more so than Toots and the Maytals! One cold beer and some ear buds on my menu. Thanks friend
Nice to see you John!
Hope all is well.
I heard this today and thought instantly of you my friend!
Hope your day went well.
 
Good night folks!

Way way way better Walker, Wow
 
soooo beautiful king ranch!! :star-struck:
Thank you, so much! I really appreciate the compliments. If you lived closer to me, I'd give you this red Cynarina. It's beautiful and crazy, but outgrowing my 40 gallon. :(

I love this fish Walker! Those eyes!!
 
Good night all. @WalkerLovesTheOcean more wrasses for sure, just ask the experts for compatibility ( I like naoki, radiant, pencil, flasher...). like them more and more. Very well done on your wrasse, will be so happy on your tank.
I've been looking for a Royal Pencil but it's not that easy to find around here. That naoko looks like a carpenter wrasse, beautifuls
 
I like the Naoko because the red and yellow are different from others fishes.
My wrasse list is too big for my tank lol
Diamond tail
Naoko
Blue flasher
Leopard
Carpenter
Melanarus
Jordani
