Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have a basement full of jars but they are for honey :)
I kinda want to do bees eventually. Once the kids older and less likely to be a bother to them haha.
 
Good evening folks! Came home to my old female clown stuck and saved her... now she has a red spot on her side, and is kinda swimming strangely.. hope its just irritated and she comes to the front.

She got Killer Bees once. That honey was soooo delicious!
 
Thank you very much for all the help and advice.
I'll definitely keep everyone updated if/when I get them.
They are adorable, maybe the size of a quarter.
What kind are they and are they showing a lot of color
 
oh what ...wait .... how did we go from worms to scorpions....they put scorpions in bottles of alcohol ?
Out here... You've never seen the tequila suckers with scorpions instead of the mealworms? They have them all over the place.
 
stuck ???
I got a frag rack made of egg crate. I pushed it isnt really close the the glass but she just happened to get between that and the glass and a turbo snail was sitting on top where she'd exit. The more she thrashed the more the snail hunkered down. Got in and moved him and guided her out. Gonna rip that rack out soon but I want to get a doser setup on my other tank first and get all my LPS over there.
 
I really don't go to those " all over the place spots unless its for a work grab..
Walmart, airport, museums, gift shops...
 
soon next year I will have the newest custom lids, algae reactors and dosing containers and for sure cool T shirts..all made by a reefer for reefers...
ooo i want to be one of your first customers!! count me in!
 
lol...yeah those places when I go to means, I am grabbing someone and taking them bye bye...to the resort or a plane to go bye bye,,,
And you don't take the time to grab a lollipop with a scorpion for the plane after they're handcuffed???
