What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Let's see if anyone has else has this issue. Anyone with an android also never able to watch YouTube videos on the R2R app?

@Calmwaters also has Android but doesn't have this issue.

Here's the error I get:

I can see all the videos on my android. Other users have trouble seeing my videos unless they're YT posts. With that being said, I don't use the app.

Makes sense now I forgot to even try it through just the browser.
 
I may do this as well, looks so good and don't have to deal with the craziness that is GSP.
I think it adds a nice pop to the background. Could you imagine that behind some acro frags!? I may add a couple more lepto frags around the backwall. Maybe get a neon green to grow along with the orange gold....

Yeah that may help you out man. I like the app, but that aspect made it tougher to use.
 
Any suggestions on adding the Tomini to the tank. He’s kinda small and I’m worried the yellow tang will make life difficult. I know the mirror trick, don’t have one need to hit Amazon up. So the plan, put the new tang in an acclimation box until the mirror comes. Any other Ideas? I’m looking for someone with experience tell me to just add it and it will be fine because I have the patience of a child.

If its any consultation I know I am not experienced but despite my yellow tang being in the tank almost a week before I added the bristle tooth tang so far there has not been any casualties. They definitely have sized each other up a time or two but no major aggression/chasing or fin damage. Both eat like pigs too.

Thanks Thomas! I’m so tempted to let him out of the acclimation box. No one in the tank has even looked twice at the acclimation box including the yellow tang. Just worried because the yellow tang is twice its size. I’m trying to wait until my mirror comes tomorrow just in case there is aggression.

I think you may be ok, YT's are far from the most aggressive tangs but I think the best way will be to release after lights are out and everyone's in there sleeping area.

Might try that if I’m up after lights out! She might want to leave it though, she has been eating like a pig with no competition.

She's enjoying that first class buffet 😂
 
Ok so I really really want to put some type monti that makes the plates on my over flow walls (not sure if that's what they are called) or some other kind of neat coral to cover up the boring black. I know gsp would work but what else?
I've seen cyphastrea in some pics
 
mine couldn't wait. Was excited at 3 years. We just didn't let her hold her.
You've all seen my pictures from last year and since
