Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thanks, you did better than me.
I like the other video that we can’t download that mimics Michael Jackson’s video for Beat It.

I was able to watch it, it just brought me to YouTube instead
 
So I'm making a wish list for future corals. Can corals of the same kind be placed near each other?
I know hammers and prospawn and torches, yes, I learned chalices are hit or miss but mostly no, montipora are typically peaceful and do mostly ok side by side, zoas are a given as you see so many gardens. That's what I know

Not all torches and hammers can be together, as each case is different so are the varieties and as there are many people who have them together other people don't work for them, I don't know what it is based on lol, maybe the type of torch and hammer

Right, but generally a hammer and a hammer is fine, a torch and a torch are fine, and frogspan and a frogspawn are fine, and some can intermingle. Or at least that's what I thought
 
Even the Zoas, yesterday I had to remove the Miami Vice Zoas that I have, luckily they were all in the plug because between them and the bam bam they were killing my Super Saiyan Zoas

It's different for every type of coral.

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you meant that the 3 of them could be together.
 
Water changes and phosbond. What should I expect when I drop it. Should I retest today?
Well, you wanted to drop p04 to help fight nuisance algae correct? I wouldn't retest until I changed it out again. You won't hurt anything by another test. It's not a process that you want to complete too quickly or your corals are going to suffer
