Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So let's start with the new addition. I pulled the rock that was front and center on my display and put in into my 8g aio I got from @IOAOI. I pulled more feather dusters than i thought imaginable from that rock... not exaggerating, theres still a lot on the rock, but i probably threw away a solid baseball sized glob that were just hanging off the rock in the sand bed when I pulled it. Have to say, this 8g really is super clear compared to my display. I didnt think the glass quality made a noticeable difference, but the 8g is beautiful

Looks awesome Mike!
 
Good morning everyone! Sorry I didn't say good night I had a horrible migraine and pretty much came home had supper, fed the animals and went to bed. Hugs to you all and hope you have a good day!
Good morning peanut, I hope you feel better today!
 
That plus reefing and your everyday job? Sounds like a full plate, my friend.
It has been a bit overwhelming as of late my friend. The stand build has taken a back seat for the time being unfortunately!
 
Im stoked guys! I finally found a nice chunky setosa frag at my lfs today

. The mother colony is grafted with purple and green accents. Ive been trying to find one locally, because I didn't want to pay shipping on a cheap frag like that. It's nothing SUPER impressive, but it'll add a pop to my tank, that I really want. Please ignore the piece of free floating hair algae draped across it.
One of my favorites John! I'll be getting one once the new tank is up

Good morning Keith. I think you need to incorporate the my motto that has gotten me through 58 years, “ why do today what you can put off until tomorrow.” 😉
 
Good Evening Everyone,
Hope y’all had a great day!! Baseball is also done for the year!

Also, I need help with a coral ID below.
That's a chalice

That would go over like a fart in the Vatican with my wife
