Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I know I haven't been active. Been busy with Esports, school and streaming. However I have not neglected my tank. GHA is once again.. GONE and it will stay that way. WC this Friday. I hope everyone is well.
 
been pulling bearings from my boat trailer, have a trip south coming up in a few days. sorry @kingranch2003 , not your way, but Mexico beach way. Hoping for decent water, temp is no problem. Coldest that I have been down fishing. near shore may be possible. but looking and hoping that it has not been fished to heavily this time of year in the bay area and close to shore. plan on a bunch of pics and hopefully video to share
 
just finished dinner. I cooked my tenderloin tips separate from the kids so I could generously season it with Brazilian steak.

Oh man good luck to you Jimmy. Im looking forward to the pics and videos.
 
@ShakeyGizzard How are the new zoas looking?
I was at Petco today to see if they had any porcelain crabs, they had a favia frag that's as big as a saucer for about $200 . also talked to a young guy that has been working his saltwater tank about 8 months. Told him about R2R
 
doing great, looking to place them tomorrow or Monday, still thing about he favia, i think it needs plenty of room to grow
They're usually pretty slow growers. They can sting, but usually don't have a ton of reach
 
Good morning!

Wishing you all a Friday that goes exactly how you would like it.
