What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

My vote goes to Tomini, my personal experience with my foxface ended up being terrible.
Tomini would be a good choice, they stay smaller.
 
Just treat your metabolism like a dumpster fire. Doesn't matter what it is, whatever is close at hand, chuck stuff in like those old train steam engine coal shovelers! Keep that thing blazing! Also protien. Lots and lots of protein...and cheese. Thats how i have been 'managing' it anyways.

Yeah, I wouldn't do a bristle tooth in a tank that size. You would definitely have some aggression issues, and you risk that tang getting ich due to it being stressed out
man..
 
All good, i don't drink alcohol. But i do love that blue moon started making NAs. They are particularly good while ice fishing. And in the woods... alone. :)
I must admit, the Blue Moon NA does taste good. My neighbor, who is a recovering alcoholic, had one and offered it me. I don't question his decisions, I think he should avoid them... but... to each is own.

I would have to agree. I loved my one spot, was super peaceful and chill. but the tomini has way more personality. Just add it last for all that is good. Dont get any sand sifting gobies, or blennies that cant hide or out run it. It will pick on them and they will probably starve.
 
My marble wrasse. Is doing just fine hes pretty big.
You have your mindset on this Camden, you do you. However, every response you have received has been a big no on adding the tang. I personally think it's cruel shoving a tang in a 12" wide tank. That gives very little turning room. Again, that's my opinion.

Hmm.. 12 wide is true.. didnt think about that.
