Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
And I think if algae starts to be too much, lesson it to 7.5 hours or even 7.
I wonder how many tangs I can fit in this thing... I would prefer to keep my light on so i'll need a rugged clean up crew!

I wouldn’t put more than 3 tangs in there. A trevally would look great.
I do remember snails and a clown would jump over the back wall into the sump so I got one of the Intank jump shield.

The box shows a hippo tang so I figured, a pair of those was probably fine. I think I heard somewhere that a trio works better to split up aggression though. So probably 3 yea.
 
My remora sounds like a jet engine and I love it. Tank is doing.. WELL. Feels great to say that. Still building my RO system.. it's complicated and GHA is down in quantity. Hope yall enjoyed your weekends!
 
Night y'all!
Thanks for always being there for each other.

Goodnight buddy. Thanks for your constant good vibes. We all want the same for you, my friend.
 
incredible tank pictures guys!! you sure know what youre doing!
im really sorry joel. i hope you can sleep good tonight. some days are def tough. it was one of those days for me as well. just kept getting phone calls with bad news and the tank kept leaking.... finally just had to walk away from it. just too much. will try again tomorrow.
 
I hope y'all had a nice weekend! I got a lot of things done today, one of which was making homemade fish food. I blended scallops, shrimp and clams together with selcon, fish vitamins, nori and ginger. It should last me a few months, all under 10 dollars!

A butterfly I've never seen before showed up today as well!
What a stunning butterfly I have never seen that one.
 
I noticed my blue legged hermit in my pico looking at the few empty shells in the tank yesterday then this morning but apparently none of them were good enough so I dropped in a few more bigger ones and watched him roll them around and look inside then and then finally he found one he liked. Lol
 
Good Morning Peeps!
Pitho is working his claws off!

Good morning Paul, glad he is working well for you! Don’t praise him to much or he’ll be asking for a raise!
