What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

My last bowl of French onion soup. I’m trying to decide, chicken parmigiana or chicken in wine sauce for dinner. I might do both.

How are you today?
So far so good, all five tanks are fed, water top off on my son’s 10 gallon saltwater tank, cat a dog fed. One 4 gallon water change done and another batch is mixing while I’m making up RO/DI water to refill the containers. As always on Sunday I’ll be inviting my mother over and I’ll try to have dinner ready by 4:00 when my wife will be coming home from work.

What's on the menu today? Never mind I just read the other post. Lol
 
I decided to upgrade the HOB on my pico to this filter. I use the same one on my tank at work and thought the spray bar would be good for the flow in it.

well I think you should cook the chicken.
 
What do you guys think would be some good corals to add to my pico tank besides zoas? Or should I just stick with the Duncan and zoas?
Perhaps a Florida ricordia, a little gsp island or a rfa?

I had beautiful RFAs but they all slowly died. I'm going to wait several months to try them again as I have read they need very well long time established tanks.
 
Morning John!
I hope you have a great one my friend. This song has really become so relevant as I have gotten a little older. It kind of helps me not to be so hard on myself, when there is no reason for it. Stay up buddy
