Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
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?
Shrooms!
 
Oh Lord, yes get that thing Amanda! I don't know how many times, I tried to pit an order together so I could buy one of those from him. That mushroom shop cost way more than that. I really hope to see that in.your tank
I am thinking about getting one of his 10 packs and adding that one to it. I still have lots of room for corals. Lol
 
I went ahead and ordered a 10 pack maybe something in it will work in the pico. I have wanted to order from him for a while and at $20 a frag I figured it was a good time to take the plunge. I hope what he sends is labeled. If not I know an amazing group of people that can help me figure them out... lol

Amanda, my suggestion is to contact him and kind of let him know what you're looking for in your 10 pack. I know they all come with a beautiful jawbreaker mushroom. He's pretty accommodating and may even have more of those other mushrooms you like.

I did message him and ask him if it's possible that he labels I will send another message to let him know what I'm kind of looking for he seems like a nice guy I have chatted with him before.
 
He said they would be not only labeled with names he's also going to put numbers on them to give placement suggestions according to lighting with 1 being lowest light and 5 being highest.

I hope you will have favia and acan too. I like the awesome blossom zoas too.
 
Testing day ;) pretty happy with my Po4,
11 h a day is the ideal time for my phosphate reactor to keep them in the same range from one week to the next

My blasto merletti is slow growing and lives in a partially shaded area under my monti cap. Nice pop of colors. The top circled one.

It is lovely!
 
Because we have heat and pollen.
and ozone at least in Maricopa County and sometimes Pinal County. The ozone is the main reason I live in Pinal County now.

He's the best, Amanda I'm very excited for you! You're about to get some serious color
