Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well Luis, you did it again! But I know your tank is far from being a cheap tank.
Not sure what you are referring too, but I still gave you "two thumbs up".
 
I don't think these are much smaller than that. Man I hope they're hungry. I have a couple wrasse. Would you wait until lights out to add them @tbrown ?
put the whole Petri dish in the tank turned upside down on a rock over aiptasia at lights out and flow off. And after feeding fish.

Excellent advice Paul. I was going to add something similar but your young mind clearly works more efficiently that mine does.
 
if they work, try and save them and send to Joel. Once they go in the tank, you usually don't see them again. the aiptasia just slowly disappear. so I have no idea how you would catch them. maybe have a tiny frag with aiptasia and place it in a Petri dish? I would couple a couple go in the sump too.
When mine were finished I would see one or two out on the glass with the lights on looking for food but with the wrasses I don’t know.

sounded more like a brothel.
LOL!! That's why I typed "hostel"... most of those are known for "extracurricular" activities. Wonder if Camden heard like zoo animal noises like Ron Burgundy?

I would feed the fish heavier or more often to try and prevent snacking. I would even probably turn the lights out early and just leave them off the whole night. Let them crawl out and into the rocks on their own to give them a chance. one night won't hurt anything. even a couple nights with lights out shouldn't hurt.

Just make sure the Berghia don’t land directly on the aptasia, they will be eaten.

It's really cheap lol, my tank cost $1000 with stand, skimmer and doser included and some powerheads, the lights cost $150, the gyres $79 each, my return pump I don't even know what brand it is but it's cheap, my nero 3 are from the biocube, my lid $32 and all my corals and fish were bought for less than $100

Even its a smaller aptasia? I can see some of the big ones eating a berghia.
 
Tim, how did your wife’s procedure go and how is she feeling?
It went well. She's feeling decent enough.
I don't think these are much smaller than that. Man I hope they're hungry. I have a couple wrasse. Would you wait until lights out to add them @tbrown ?
I did. Keep in mind, I had 3 Halichoeres wrasses in my tank.

Well, my friend. I don't see your tank as being "cheap", it is quite beautiful and looks expensive! You have done well!

I always found them at night, after lights out on the bottom of rocks. Suck them up gently with a turkey baster.

Glad she is feeling better sir.
 
I'm not knocking the song, it's a great song. But did he listen to the words before picking that song?
He was kind of a rough/trouble son so he meant it kind of as an apology?

That makes sense. It was a touching gesture on his part.

I had a couple do that as well once the tank was mostly void of Aiptasia.
