What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Im here Amanda!

The purpose of this order was to add bright green to my tank. I wanted to contrast with all of the orange and pink I had in there.

So what I thought was a super small trachy about the size of a quarter was actually a big one! It came on a really nice rock base that supports it well and will allow for some nice growth. I am very pleasantly surprised, because it's probably the brightest thing in my tank now. (Dont tell Sweet Lips)

This montipora colony is odd and awesome, it's very bright and has a crazy growth pattern. These were maricultured by Jake Adam's before his death as part of the ACI Experiment.
It's a bit hidden behind the dendros now, but should make for a nice contrast as it grows out.

Then this is just a yellow and green acro that I added last minute. It looks typical, but it's really bright in color and has fully encrusted the plug.

Coralsdotcom did a great job with the packing as always, and the corals survived the delay it seems.

See if you can pick em out from a FTS. Im hoping they pop!

Wow John! The new additions definitely add a nice contrast to your color palette!
 
Good morning, gang!

Busted out the yee old camera yesterday and decided to take some photos of birds out in our backyard. Still have to do a lot of touch-ups and edits, but this is one I did yesterday with zero edits

I mean I spent a bulk of my day yesterday standing outside in the cold watching birds, so I guess I have gone to the birds.....
 
Guys I'm really struggling today from not sleeping well the last several days and could use some prayers that I make through the day without messing up anything at work and without getting a migraine.

As someone who gets exercise-induced migraines and my mom, who gets migraines every so often, they aren't fun. Alycia and I are wishing you the best today and praying it will be a day full of joy and no pain!
