Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning kind sir! Honestly, most of the baseball players you post I have no clue who they are. I do appreciate you increasing my knowledge base because someone usually posts who they are.
Pablo Sandoval!
 
This is Pablo Sandoval.
Nickname "The Panda. "
Fun guy, fun to watch.
He was a brave for 2 or 3 months in 21 when we won the world series. He added so much joy to the dugout that they gave him a ring
 
It’s annoying when people purposely stay off the #S#Smorgasbord so they want us to think they have a life other than reefing and this thread. It’s hilarious because we know better.

How are they doing with the aptasia, playing nice?
Ive seen two of the smaller patches disappear quickly. I realized last night that I should turn the wavemaker off for a few hours at night. They did the most work last night after I did that. The first night was a noticeable difference too.
It looks like they're saving the biggest for last.
 
Evening pics. No filters as I run my peak hours quite white. You can see the sun shining on the rock under the Magnifica anenome.

The mayor of torch town! Looking great Mr. Keith
 
That would be a great name for a high dollar Bourbon. "Second Horse" for when a man wants to show his wild side...

Brother, I show my wild side after Tequila! Oh, the stories I could tell! Like streaking down the Riverwalk in San Antonio after a night of debauchery! Mind you, I was still in the service at that time.

Yes, they are quite fragile. Ive heard it is best to lower the flow significantly at night.
