What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good point maybe Sam didn't 'leave' has anybody counted the number of pickle jars at Kev's recently?
Couldn’t have been me, The post was grammatically correct.
 
Can you guys tell me what this coral is called? I love the way it moves but I can't remember what its called. I would like to add more easy corals that move with the flow so help me make a list for when warmer weather gets here.
Pretty sure it's cespitularia (sp)

Yep I went back and looked at my past orders and found it. 🙂 now I just need to find others that are easy, colorful and have lots of movement.
 
I really like the dimensions of the SR Pro 2 | 80 AIO Aquarium w/ APS Stand - Black since its practically 4 feet in the display. I guess the question is what types of tangs could I fit in it. Would a yellow tang be pushing it? A lot of the 120 gallons seem to have shorter dimensions and just a lot of water in the sump.

Ya, you could get away with it in a 4’ tank.
 
Did anyone welcome the new member Samantha yet?
I didn't see a post from a Samantha? But I have been having issues with my post not being in the right order or missing or not being there and then when I go off the site and come back they are there.

I think blue clove polyps fit that criteria.

I mean I could always add a sump later. My big thing issue is I am not too handy. Some of the 125 tanks as well are only 33 inches long and I prefer a longer shorter tank.
