Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I've never bought a fish online and I've always tried to avoid it. My lfs has always either had the fish I wanted, or could order them. Well, I wanted some very specific wrasse and they've had trouble finding them. My tank has just been so lifeless since my fish died 6 months ago...

I took the chance. I really hope this works out. Fingers crossed

Thanks Tom. It was the McCosker's that was holding me up. Apparently they're all of a sudden hard to find?

The Naoko's fairy wrasse has an interesting color pattern and stays small for a fairy wrasse. 2.5 to 3.5 inches. It has these long, black pectoral fins and a tall black dorsal fin. It looks like a little marlin when it extends them.
