Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@tbrown that mucus you spoke about last week.. it's back and it seems to come on every water change. What does it mean?
It's how some things catch their food. They'll send out a mucus "net" and then suck it back in to their stomachs.
It's not stress? I know vermitis do that for food. It was on my wrasses face

If it was on your fish, it is possible that it was his mucus cocoon. A lot of species of wrasses wrap themselves in a mucus blanket when they sleep.
 
Is it just me, this forum has been super glitchy and slow?
I've been having a problem with the forum for 2 or 3 months now when posting a photo; sometimes it takes 5 or more attempts, and I have to log out and log back in several times for just one photo, Imagine when I want to upload more than one, sometimes it lets me upload one, and when I go to upload the other, it happens again, and I have to start all over again.

Have not been on much today, but that seems to be the norm
 
And here's a pic of the new kid eating. I need to pick up some smaller foods.

That is a cool little fish. How's the color up going?
 
Hey, those crappies don’t catch themselves Jimmy!

Not finished yet, but the key is to fry some potatoes a little first and then add them almost at the end
@Üter Sorry, I posted the quote but the site wouldn't load.
