Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I think we have too much dirt Keith. Mine are in there, but they're so spread out. I can get somw.good "clumps" out but it's a chore
I will get a smaller container and some of that knitting mesh stuff.
 
What is pic 2!?!?!? I love the pops of color in the garf. They look like stars. Go on with your bad self Mike! I got the stick fever too man.
Its a Jose casa rainbow milli from cultivated reef. It was tucked in the back and all colored down so I got a good deal on it. Slowly coloring back up. Was worried it'd die for awhile.

Good morning Mike!
 
Good morning peeps! This is the feral cat we have been feeding for 7-8 years and there’s my cat keeping watch and waiting for it to finish so he can eat even though he was already fed today.

Hoping everyone is doing well.
Gha is back in full swing as a result of a bad Ro system. Gotta fix it before it turns into what happened the last time. Both lights are installed but I'm having issues with keeping the tank lit due to placement in the roof of them. So PAR is off and levels must be through the roof. Im also doing a rock rework to make things less heavy on one of the bottom rocks and to help with stability. Ill probably take out the really unstable peice and replace it with coral lol. I think I'm gonna shut off my skimmer, dose fluconazole and hope for the best. For now its all I can do due to the size of the gha etc.
