What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I know that was scary enough, but im glad it wasn't worse. Wait a minute...Did you put something in his food to get cipro?

Just explained what I needed it for. He also treats exotic pets, reptiles, birds etc so I figured he would understand ( not exotic dancers Keith).

Added more cleaned up rock...
Aiptasia will most likely survive this but for now just putting affected rocks, which is all of them in a bucket of ro water for a day.
At least it's bringing me some visual joy again, which, to be completely honest I've had zero joy with this tank so I'll take it...
The coraline seems unaffected by the casual ro bath which I find rather odd and cool at the same time.

I don’t want to brag but I once too got a DM from Rev asking me to quit giving advice on R2R. It felt good to be recognized!
