Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
yes I would drive right through where you are...and stay at a 5 star place or the casino
The casino suites are REALLY nice. Then there are some nice old beach hotels that are also fantastic.
 
I have some choice words for these murderers, my poor hammer hanging by a thread and they just threw it aside like a cheap piece of zooxanthellae and are claiming the next victim.



The good news is it does not seem unhappy yet. You also have multiple heads to split up the burden.
 
I am a Blantons or Bulliet guy...
Blanton is top 2 or 3 for me. I like cask strength and high proof too, like bookers or angels envy cask strength
 
Did a Zoom training this morning. For work.
Spent part of the afternoon testing water
Nitrate 13.6
dKh 8.008
Phosphate 3.7
Mag 1275
Cal 450

1st time with these testers, hope I did it right
Great numbers!

If it starts to look sad though I moved my Duncan to the sand bed and in my experience the clowns stopped hosting it in the corner of my sandbed. I though about getting a flower pot (like a garden one not a goni lol) or something like that since I hear a lot of the time they like to host those.

Ugh man that's terrible. A problem fish is always bad deal for a tank. Let alone two 😢
I just hope the Duncan is more resilient and can handle them.

I suppose that's true 😂. So far it's ok but the hammer was the same way in the beginning so I'm still not in the clear.

My Duncan has been hosting my clown fish for about 3 years and it’s fine.

That's true but I'm worried about what they'll move to next. Anything but my torches. They can have the Duncan just leave the torches alone lol!
