Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No worries, work takes precedence... .well, it should.. lol
Nah. I'm on short timers now. My director told to me to burn as much time as possible over the next 4 weeks. Unfortunately I'm only able to burn about a week's worth.
 
So I know I mentioned that on one of the only cold days in Florida I had a live stock delivery with some issues. (My mistake since the weather just dropped 20 degrees for that random day) I mostly blame Fedex since they always seem to deliver my package the latest possible in the window & they did not handle it well. The good news is Top Shelf Aquatics is replacing all the items and shipping them out Thursday to arrive Friday & the weather is supposed to be Much better that day Mid to high 70s. I did end up losing the shrimp, and three of the five micro brittle stars, & all of the snails (the two barely alive fell out of the shell later that day) 😭. The other two I do not know if they are alive since they went into the tank into the rock work. Super happy with TSA though
