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

aww thats rough @kingranch2003 . makes you wonder what that poor boy lives with and is going thru.
and yes that makes the verse in the bible come alive- unless we become as little children....
I wish I'd remembered that verse at the time. You are so right. I thought the same thing about the little boy. I hope if he has something going wrong in his little life, that at least he experienced some love this evening from an unlikely source.
 
It’s very nice and looks very similar to mine. I don’t know what you originally ordered but I hope it was an upgrade!
In all aspects it is Kevin. Two full heads and long polyps. I really like this torch for its movement too. It commands your attention.
 
no kidding! love the yellow!
I couldn't believe how badly I was in need of yellow Jill lol.
I got a good deal on this one, and I'm thinking about getting another smaller one from the same seller.
 
@smitten with ocean life When you get your white worms, target feed some to your plates. I've never seen such a thing lol. That plate will grab em up. @JoJosReef
 
im anxious to try! do you blow them on the plates with a pipette? whenever i lay food on them the fish snatch it off. im hoping that they can get something out of the watercolum when i broadcast feed

I use this pictured below.

Take the blue tips off, and add whatever you want to target feed to just enough rodi or tank water to barley cover the food, and float it. Pick some up with the pipette but only draw it in a few inches. Turn your flow off and hover over the plate
a few inches. Don't squeeze the bulb, just let it fall out of the feeding tube slowly onto the coral. You don't need to target the mouth, just get close. They have those beautiful sweepers there to help direct it.

Good morning everyone. Sorry I wasn't on last night I got a massive migraine shortly before getting off work and pretty much came home and went to bed. It's still hurting so I may not be in much today either. I hope you all have a great day.
 
what's up everybody, I am still doing the giveaway grinds. I won $475 on the ReefBreeders giveaway. Don't know why I was in it, lights are what I don't need. But wife said to get the Meridian 11 and BOT mount, so I did.
