Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I got the tomini tang and carpenters wrasse today! The total was $20 cheaper than expected! $65 dollars for both! That's an insane deal!!
Great deal and both beautiful fish
 
Can you get a better picture under white lights? (That's usually the comment when identification of something in a tank is needed) LOL!!
I wish I had brought my Orphek lenses!
 
I got the biggest Duncan they had and this one that I'm not sure what it is. It's a pretty mint green color but it doesn't show in the picture.

Green sinularia leather maybe?
 
I just read your tank build thread. I didn't realize you were still in high school. I applaud you for getting in the hobby at an early stage in your life. You will gain valuable experience in the years to come.
Do you currently have test kits? If not, I have extra Salifert nitrate and phosphate kits that I use occasionally when I'm too lazy to use my Hanna checkers. I could send you those so you can test regularly.
Brother, you were always meant to be a smorgo! Good stuff man.
 
@kevgib67 how was the visit inside? Make you love the hobby ever more?
Omg ( thats on my goat for you older reefers), it was awesome, I felt like a gambling addict in a casino or an alcoholic in a liquor store! Agriculture systems were pristine and the isles just went on and on. I’ve usually picked up my corals but treated myself and had them shipped once when I had some birthday money, everything is packed perfectly and corals are extremely healthy. I highly recommend Tidal Gardens. You know how nice and genuine Thad is in his videos? He is exactly the same in person.
