Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Get that same look Monday morning....
Hmmm...our wives must be related. I get that look anytime I'm doing something outside her agenda or not on the ever growing "honey do" list.
 
Ok Luis, do these bam bams get me a seat at your cool table? John I thought of you when I saw these acans, they are not in direct light, under the frag rack and not showing the colors well but they are mostly a royal blue with green. They were stunning at my lfs.

Same here. My wife tells people it's my "therapy tank".
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.
My wife is the reason I have 6 tanks... Otherwise my house would be full of them. :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
Caught up again! Another busy day yesterday... Left the house at 6 for a round of golf, finished up at 3:45. Rushed to a 5 o'clock meeting on the other side of town, then to church for our small group, then picked up my son from his grandparents house, and on to home where I crashed in bed and slept all night!

Another busy morning being planned currently.

Wife is out of town and there's an anniversary event at a local gun shop so I have to go, right??? After that, I got an invite to Fish-A-Palooza 2 miles from my house. I'll plan an hour at the gun shop and a few hours at the fish show, then lunch and go from there! My kids want to play pickleball.

My wife only let me change the tank because the new one matches the living room decor lol, I tried to keep both but she said a no bigger than my head lol, maybe I found a little loophole there hahaha, look for tanks and stands that match the decor lol
 
Could also be a Clove Polyp of some variety or a Sympodium but I'm not positive there are green ones.
