I wish I could have been there to help you, my friend, but I'm so glad your business is doing so well.
 
Decided to beef up my clean up crew so I ordered 3 assorted conches, a package for a 30 gallon and a pompom crab from reef cleaners.

Mine are simple to use and they've been running forever with little to no maintenance.
 
It has been a very long day Smorgs but I still had time to makes a little video of an amazing Acropora for you but I don’t know what subspecies it is.
Help would be appreciated.
Its street name is Red Bee……

Very kind thank you!
You guys make it what it is!
Fantastic group of people here I couldn't ask for anything more!
Y'all make every day 1000 times better.

I know nothing about corals but I live vicariously through all of you! ;)
Pretty!
 
Mine starts overflowing after 4-5 days. I usually don't remember to change before 7 days though
Just skimmer and rock for me.
Both tanks.
 

The smaller hermits like blue and red legs I find are aggressive and constantly attack each other or snails. They don’t seem to last very long for me.

The scarlet hermits are larger but more mellow and they will occasionally kill a snail for a shell, but it doesn’t happen as much as the littler guys.
 
and yes, i can def vouch for vintage's helpfulness!! hes so kindly given me advice too! (even if i dont rate as high as kingranch! jk! jk!) :grinning-squinting-face: ;):cool:
You rank high and I’ll always help you wherever I can
 
Also beauty…
Well organized, color sorted, Goni grow out rack. They are mostly happy at the moment. My typical divas are being divas but I don’t cave. They don’t get special treatment. They stay until they are adjusted.
