What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My lips are sealed Amanda! A little word of advice, sometimes (quite often) men have pretty strong opinions. :smiling-face-with-halo:
His entire family is very stubborn... I use to think my family was but his is so much more than mine. Lol
 
I wonder if it'd be possible to plumb it into my 120g system and still keep it gentle enough for the fry? I'd prefer to not have multiple water parameters to maintain lol. My 14 month old and this one tank take up almost all of my free time as it hahaha
Sure, may need to add a ball valve to control flow through the tank. Also, a large piece of foam on the outflow to keep the babies from being blended in your return pump.

Puts things into perspective though. My wife has two sisters that make me start drinking and almost have a panic attack when they are coming over.
 
Smorgasbord @eymi is my, amazing wife , and much better half! She has the coolest tank you've ever seen. I have crazy colors, she has an ecosystem to envy. You guys are going to love this lady!
 
I mean, I got a spawning pair. Lol if it's not terrobly hard it might be worth trying
It is hard lol, low flow, need to get equipment to hatch the eggs, You have to cover the tank for days while they lay the eggs, waking up in the middle of the night if necessary, even so, one day I plan to do it because it is super satisfying, I have very good videos about that but in Spanish
