Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Had a couple.
Condys move around a lot.
Under the right light they are really pretty but other than that pretty meh.
They don't host anything I don't believe.
think its safe to keep in a display tank
 
Improved my Phyto set up. I used two of the grow lights for our seedlings since last year I used 3 nicrews I had on hand. two 50w and one 150w for the seedlings. PAR is at 352 at the edge of the glass, and there is room for a 3rd jar. had to get another tub

At first glance that first photo looked like something from Tron and I thought you were responding to Bubblesand Squeak's post. ;-)

Yep me too. :upside-down-face:
 
that's good, will keep an eye on it, have a new home ready if needed.
Low flow high light.
Turn the flow off/way down let it get settled then slowly turn it up again.
They really are extremely beautiful when happy, all those purple tips flowing in the breeze....

its been stationary for the last 12 hors or so, lights just went off (my dino fix schedule) its in an area of low to medium flow, PAR level may be in the 75 to 80 range. Wife asked me to leave it for a bit also. It does look ok with the purple tips and all
