What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I ordered the kamoer dosing pump, and 2 days later ordered the stirrer and IceCap pump, the dosing pump is here and installed, waiting on the rest

Sorry my friend.
So many of these issues lately.
Funny, though, my bills always seem to show up on time....
 
Embrace that moment of support for your hob...

When I told my husband this morning my plans to go to all the stores he said just don't spend too much. He don't understand my hobby but he knows it makes me happy so he supports me.
Nice Amanda.
My wife is the reason I have my tank.
She knows it makes me happy and she just leaves me alone with it.
Very supportive of me.
 
x box one for me, weighing the thought of hanging it up or by the next gen, I am Call of Duty addict, black ops 6 at he moment, my gamer tag is, yes you guessed it, ShakeyGizzard
Last video game I played was Ms. Pacman....

That's great!
 
I will come to with something tomorrow maybe moving the rock its on will help. If not I will try the small wave maker I have and if that's too much I will order a small pump like Luis suggested maybe rig up some thing like a flow bar on it.
 
That's what I have on it now.
It's easy in a small tank to thrash everything with flow.
Which filter are you using?
I've noticed the corals can get used to flow if you start slowly.
Just like the fish.

For a long time I had a HOB filter flowing down on a pile of rocks.
It made the flow disperse nicely.
I just built up a rock pile just under the surface, under the HOB.
It was like a gentle waterfall.
Just an idea.
 
Good night peanut, sleep tight! I know you’re beyond your bedtime .
I was just getting ready to say goodnight lol I have been trying to find that coral on the internet but haven't found it yet the closest I found was a YouTube video of a lady scuba diving in the great barrier reef but it didn't say the name of it.

Maybe I could fit one more small rock on top of the others.

If memory serves me right it's a small marine land
