Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So I really wanted to try RFAs one more time since my last ones died when my picos filter got turned off last time so I decided to try a seller on ebay and they just so happened to have what I thought was a decent price on a birdsnest and a Duncan so I added them as well. That means this week I will be adding my corals from SBB corals as well as these...

I don't think its not a real one but they had it labeled as a stratosphere zoa's. The mother colony had a much larger purple center but these were fragged recently. I am happy its already nice and open as well. I thought maybe its a Stratocaster zoa? Anyone good with Zoa IDs?

What do you think I paid for it or what would you have paid?

The price was only $20 dollars too lol so I will take it.

I would have given them $19. Not a penny more.
 
I asked mine as well and she didn’t want the hassle. I bought one. I do weekly rentals and because you are Smorgasbord I’ll give you a deal, $300 for five days, you cover the shipping and $50 a day for every day after.
Let me ponder that one Kevin lol
 
Good morning! I picked up a new coral yesterday for 25 gallon lagoon tank on a pretty good deal. It was still opening up yesterday but I hope its more open today and will share pictures.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
What is it?

Yesterdays haul, I will mount everything today. I am going to go pick up the 24k grail later too. Does anyone know what kind of blasto this is?

I might should have went with the bigger beaker but I guess I can always just mix two batches if need be when I get an idea of how much I will need to actually dose daily to get my levels where I need them. Seems like I read once you mix it you can store it for 30 days.
How much alk/calc per day is your tank consuming? Dont you mostly have softies Amanda?
