Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm sure I'll add more corals eventually. My next goal, livestockwise is green mandarins , then I guess we'll see
You are ready for those! I have a scooter blenny (oscelated dragonet) and he LOVES white worms. With your fuge, im sure your pod population is on point as well.

Thank you for that!
 
@Remi How's are your tanks going, my friend? I hope all is well for you.
Hi John, I was doing he water change. Tanks are ok. I got BJD maybe 2 weeks before Joe came to Dubai. Lost 1 torch, 1 frogspawn and 1 hammer (20 heads) this one bothered me but hopefully it stopped after. I tried to frag asap but 2 days later they went out. I don't have Cipro here so... I have a bit of algae problem on the back wall and a bit of cyano on the small tank (no skimmer no wave maker) and I cannot put my hand as one clown is very mean so I add a dotty back lol . Here pics before and after water change this morning.

That's a fact. And it's something we often overlook as hobbyists. We focus on the end more than the journey. These fish were expertly cared for and had a beautiful life. Well said Tom.

Just popping in to say good night. Passed out on the couch.. got a cough and sore throat i havent been able to kick for like a week and a half now.... night folks!
Been dealing with something similar the last 3 days, plus high fever, But I went to work anyway because I think if I lie down in bed it's worse.
 
My urchin is upside down on the back wall?

not sure about FL but I think Mike might be having a pollen reaction. its really bad right now. usually the month of June, most people don't open there windows. usually its safe about the second week of July. by then its just full on AC anyway. last year I thought something was on fire from all the smoke but realized it was actually pollen clouds. yes, it was that bad! This year the rain has been bringing most of it down. (but then mold starts).

I think we've already gone through that here. I'm telling you this because my wife and my mother-in-law are allergic and when that time comes they get so bad with runny nose that they even have to take pills every day

So sorry, Rémi. Could it be that the area where the cyano is is lacking flow? I don't really know anything about it, but since it's such a small space, the tanks look nice, love that plate
