Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I didn’t recognize any of the pictures but I thought I would double check. Anyone have a picture on here

I also still have a few Aiptasia. Apparently the nudis, if there are still any in the tank, don't like to hang out on the return Loc-line. I have three big ones there but I'm leaving them be for now. I still don't see any in the display other than the on the return so I figure it is an auto feeder for the nudis. I may have to do something soon though since I just put the gyres back in and they are a breeding ground for the Aiptasia.
Hey Tom what about the wavemakers?
They're covered
Should I remove/clean or leave be?
I'm assuming the nudis are still in my tank, it's been 3 weeks today.
I guess they're in there?

If they're gyres just check them from time to time and scrape/clean the Aips as soon as you see them, the Aiptasia love to hang out on them and the nudis can't get to them there. I use a small deburring blade to scrape them off and then rub some peroxide where they were. Not perfect but it helps.

I'm pretty sure I still have the nudis because there are no Aiptasia on any of the rocks or panels, just the return Loc-line and the sump but the nudis won't go near a pump and the gyres are Aip magnets.

Which gyres do you use Tom?

Yeah they really are.
 
Which gyres do you use Tom?
I have a pair of the Maxspect XF350 Cloud Edition on the tank now. A little too powerful for my little 100 gallon lagoon so I need to play with the settings to get it dialed in.
 
I had too, but I figured the weather was ideal so that even if they shipped in without a heat pack or anything it's be fine if it got here in time. Should have known better
Can't blame yourself for someone else's shortcomings as a business. It says plenty about them.
