Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I need to change my light schedule. By the time I get home, the lights are ramping down and the torches are preparing for their slumber.
From 2pm to 12am is how it works best for me, sometimes I get home at night and I always go to bed after 12 so I can enjoy the tank until it turns off.
 
The new baby banana torch arrived this morning, had me worried. I saw almost no flesh, and it looked rough when it came in. But a couple hours later and, it's much better.

I'm curious to hear, according to what you told your wife, what price range the Banana Torch is in, around $50 to $100 I bet lol, I'm telling you this because my wife thinks all corals are worth between that range, and sometimes even less lol

Flesh band is small, but with it being in your tank brother, it will do great!

Luis, I love seeing your tank. That weeping willow toadstool makes me drool!
 
did you print that or buy it?
I keep thinking to get a printer. probably more for the kids with my "ocassional" use.
I bought this one, I've wanted to buy a 3D printer for a while now but it's too expensive for me for now, maybe later
 
At the ER with my husband his heart is beating irregular and his blood pressure keeps spiking it's been 192/81 the last few times. Please pray hard it's nothing serious.
Wishing you best.
