Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I didn't get any good pictures from the last place I went its a very clean store but the ceiling lights cause too much glare for pictures. They have a lot of beautiful corals. I got a tangerine zoa which are similar to the Bambams that Luis has but grow a bit slower. They also had the bambams. I'm not sure if i will remember the names of them all so I might need help once I get them dipped and they settle in. I know I got one Ultra Reef flower anemone and the Duncan for the pico tank. Then I got an orange encrusting monti, a really neat one that is blue something another that if a fish or something rubs it changes color to white, and I think I got rasta zoas but I can't remember if I ended up choosing that one and i also got a paly i right was pretty.
 
Love the close loop systems! I was watching a video where Than said he collects rainwater, then processes it to use in his systems similar to RO water I'd assume.

I really did and the weather is amazing I didn't even mind sitting in traffic where they're is construction going on lol
 
I'm really trying hard to not buy anything for the tank since I'm going on vacation next week... and my new tank is finished and waiting to be shipped. So, I'll just go shopping after the new tank is up! I'll have a lot more space to fill!
 
Are you able to put some foam on it to keep if from happening again?
I did I have a prefilter filter intake sponge but I had taken it off when I did the water change over the weekend and forgot to put it back.

Yeah, it's funny when the weather is nice, traffic doesn't bother me as much either! Windows down, music up... lost in my own little world.

It happens! Don't fret about it, your tank is still beautiful.
