Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Gramma starting eating again. Film algae growth is exponential.
Brother I thought you were saying you might lose your grandma! I completely read that wrong. My response was so compassionate lol. Glad it's eating again.

I knew he was talking about his RG but didn't want to look stupid in the off chance I was wrong 😅
 
Here you a few videos and a few pictures! I love watching him scoot around the tank. I tried to get some of the firefish but they all came out blurry. Please ignore the algea on the glass it hurts me to stand up long enough right now to clean it really good so I missed some spots.
They're so much fun to watch! Looks like he's munching down on some pods too.

From the video, it appears that you have a little female. The female Oscelated dragonets have a shorter and thinner first dorsal fin than the males. Tank looks great!
 
Its one of the few fish I am confident in sexing correctly. The males have a larger top fin!

Well I was late to this party, I'm glad we agreed though, or this would be even more awkward lol
 
Well then I will have to stop calling it a him... 😆 she's so little i didn't know if maybe the fin was still growing. LOL
Nope it'll grow in that same proportion!
 
I knew he was talking about his RG but didn't want to look stupid in the off chance I was wrong 😅
I Looked stupid by giving him advice on courage and strength lol. I almost quoted Dr. Phil.... it got crazy...

I wonder if they can just transfer the prayers over to the fish.
