Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I always try to go overboard on dwarf Ceriths. They're cheap and a very low bio load and great for getting in the small cracks and crevices in the rock work and for keeping the sand turned over. I do a minimum of 25 (as much as 100 on one order).
I haven't noticed much change with them in there to be honest. Most of my Florida ceriths died on shipment so I'll get more this time. This is the cart, what else should I add?

Dwarfs are so small you won't notice much of a difference with low numbers.

I prefer Trochus, Nerites, and Ceriths with the occasional Margarita snail thrown in for variety and spice.
 
I agree, the anniversary of my life saving transplant as well!
Really, Kevin!? I did not know that my friend. Wow you two made that an extra special day.
 
Can you guess what I’m having for lunch tomorrow?
Something that I wish I was eating, which will no doubt involve green onions, which is God's gift to flavor.

Nice prices! Where do you order from?
 
Sorry, if they are still in the tank put them on a corner sometimes we have a surprise.
It's true, I moved mine more than 7 times until I found the right place and they returned from more than 90% skeleton
 
Family, if at any time you are interested in a camera to check the tank, I recommend this one, super economical and with tremendous visual quality. I'm leaving you a photo and a video.

@00W do you have the same tank you started almost a decade ago?
I have all the rock, fish and 2 snails.
I've since moved everything over to a 100 a couple of months ago.
Old tank sits lonely in garage
I have the same 20 going for 6 years, same clownfish from original 29 10 years ago.

I had two acan colonies taken out by my chalice, a month or so later I saw the acan color of about the size of a BB. It’s been slow, over six months but it’s now the size of a dime.
