Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@kingranch2003 thanks for the tag back in bud. I was straying into a work/sleep/repeat cycle and forgot to stop and smell the low tide haha
I completely understand brother. You have to go through the dog days sometimes. We have your back and are just glad to hear from you man.
 
Are there any aptasia left at all???? I'm at the point where I might buy some nudis soon! I'm getting quite the population
Reefengineer said any of us smorgasbord family gets a discount! Dont forget that. They eat aiptasia like a Baptist eats a casserole
 
I have one big one left.
That's it.
You know how bad it was.
Talk to @ReefEngineer .
His are what you need.
For me, it's an absolute miracle.
I have none anywhere else, maybe in the back of the overflow I haven't checked.
Ditto. They completely wiped mine out and bred several times in my tank until the aiptasia were gone.
 
Evening, it's been a little bit. Been very busy. Tank has 0 GHA left. Cuc took a hit.. no idea how things are missing. Fish are alive and corals are doing eh. Rose nem wont grow, GSP won't grow and my leather didn't like fluanzacole. I'm missing a few snails, my tux urchin which sucks I hope he's ok. I have a core of like 3 turbo snails left and 3-4 top crown/carribean star snails. As for dwarf ceriths.. no idea where they at. One serpent star, my goofy conch who is now scaling the glass, giant knobby died recently no idea how. I found my whelk after he went missing for a while flipped over but he survived! And my pincushion urchin. Sad I know.
 
Unsure if anyone invests here. However if you do look into quantum computing. I bought RGTI a few months ago when it was at a measly 13$. It had its ups and downs but now it's here. Quantum computing is on the rise!

I was just told that whelks are bad.. and that they multiply and kill other snails. Now it makes sense why so much is disappearing. Next time I see the whelk I hope my sump will be setup so I can just put him in the fuge.

Yep that could be part of your problem. Is your heater working right? Do you use good rodi water? Is salinity stable. It's not super common, or a great sign to consistently lose inverts. They're usually the first sign of a bigger problem in a tank that keeps losing them.
 
Oh yeah! My tastes run the gammut. (Except rap. And 'country' music newer than like 2010. )

Was just dancing with my daughter to this bouncy banger :)
