What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

That makes me want acans now…. Even though I don’t even have a tank up, haha
They have grown so well for me! The lower par that theyre in (around 50 to 60) helps them hold their color. When you're all set up, I highly recommend them. It's a good coral for low light low flow areas, and they're pretty affordable for all the color they add. 10/10 recommend!
 
Good morning, all! Have a great week!

I know what coral I'm trying then!

I think I have the perfect area for them and will for sure be adding some in the future! How far away should they be kept from each other and other corals?
 
She's doing really well! She goes all over the tank and rock work hunting snacks and she's just so cute!
So much personality in those little fish. Who doesn't love something that always looks like it's smiling?
 
Likely yes. Citric acid took all the slime coating off everything.
That's what I'm hoping. The tank looks like I am micro bubbling it on purpose to raise pH and trap organics.
 
Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a great day with plenty of good music and food!


Good morning John! What a great song to start the work week. SIEZE THE DAY!

Remind me of which fish you are speaking of? ... typing that reminded of a fishwich! I may need to partake in a fishwich at lunch.

Scooter blenny!
 
SOoooo.... I finished filling the tank yesterday. Topped her off until the water was running through the overflow. I hear a waterfall... I look behind the tank and I hadn't tightened down the unions yet for the overflow. 😡
I immediately stopped filling and let the water drain down below the overflow, grabbed some towels and began draining half the water so I could slide it away from the wall.
After tightening the unions, I have no leaks... imagine that!
Glad you got it all figured out Rock. You've probably already said, but are you doing a sand bottom or bare?
 
I don't know about Tim but I'm having dunkin coffee with chocolate covered strawberry flavored creamer. It is delicious!
That sounds like liquid diabetes lol
