Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My personal feeling is that the member is a bot as most of the responses are, at best, nonsensical or generic. If it is a person then I apologize but you need to do something more than add noise to a thread.
Well you asked for proof, the next two posts should do it!
 
Have fun or get some much needed rest, which ever suits you or perhaps some of both!
I think getting rest is out of the question if he's bring all the kids. But the bonus is he has kids old enough to take care of all the youngsters!
 
I only saw two of my nudis once after they entered the tank. I've never seen them since but I'm sure there are some in there as I get Aiptasia on my gyres and return pipe but none on the rocks--pause to knock wood--. It took a few weeks before I noticed anything in the tank after they were introduced. As someone else on here said it isn't so much the ones you introduced but their offspring that do the work. Good luck, fingers crossed that they finally work out for you.
Now you know Keith is going to giggle at this!

I believe his brother is going to stay at his house with them, I could be, probably, most likely be wrong.
 
Not good, hopefully yours not but they can eat corals
both look OK. Had to blow some sand off the Lobo which is why he's a little closed. the Jawfish throws sand everywhere.

Well said Tom.
Totally agree 100 percent.
Was going to say the same.
