Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My shipment came today.
Everything seemed dead but god works in amazing ways. All freezing cold.
Arrow crab came back and is currently recovering as we speak. Very critical condition
Emerald crabs don't stink but immobile. Their all sitting on a rock now no sign of life but I should give them time
Astrea snails are just in snail shock but they didn't stink they need to recover from the cold.
Blue tonga hammer is alive. Full skeleton showing and muscus everywhere. Alive though
Pray to god.

Make sure to document it though if there is a claims process. If the flesh band is entirely gone on the hammer it may be too far gone. With euphilya I have not had much success every if it starts with no flesh band.
 
Good morning CB! Thank you, going slowly, Rock was supposed to be here yesterday at 5:00 pm and no signs of him. He won’t answer his phone.
lol! I told you to call me brother! I’d have helped you

Oh he called you alright. We're not going to mention WHAT he called you though, because, well, TOS and all that, but he definitely called you.
 
I did a thing. Lets hope I don't come to regret it. I got a very good deal on a fish for $150. He is in my 25 gallon while my 80 gallon cycles and is just a little baby fish! 😁

Such a tease!!! Where is the picture of at least tell us what kind of fish...

Pictures are lame. I posted a video :D Wyze camera for the win. Plus he seems to be obsessed with the corner that the camera is in even though there is a lot of space in the tank (lol)

I know you would and thank you! While I’m dripping acclimating my 1 male lyre tail and 2 female anthias and a carpenter’s wrasse I’ll get the last 1/3 over and the fish and inverts. The light is getting so bright at the end of t tunnel I’m wearing Ray Bans.
