Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
This is where I got it from.
AH! now it makes sense, i forgot about crowns, very similar to toadstool but the shape makes sense now. I think they basically are identical to toadstool otherwise in needs. They're very resilient, but if they go into shedding I've had one take two weeks until it was back to opening up.

It's probably unhappy with the light change but they can adapt.

My devils finger was tiny when I got it and has shed several times as it's grown, it's bigger than my fist now.
 
When I had the Sailfin I would leave it in there until it started to get too soft and falling apart, haven't tried yet with the Foxface, I only put in like a 2x2 square and it obliterated the whole thing in 10 minutes lol.
+5, I only pulled it if it started to break apart and float around the tank.
 
Nope I have a devils hand and it's different let me see if I can remember where I ordered it from and I will look back at the invoice.
Didn’t you post the invoice the other day?
 
Tomini Tang and two Azure Damsels. That should complete my stocking so long as they arrive healthy and happy
Azures are gorgeous fish! Im pulling for you to have a healthy delivery sir!
 
I thought Damsels were mean fish?

Azures are known to be the most tame... more like semi-aggressive. I've never had issues with them.

Awesome because they are beautiful but I was afraid to get them because I thought they were all super mean. Do they do well in groups?

I think Azures have the best coloration, I think you can in your size tank but I'm not sure what number is good... i'm going to try 2 and see how it works, hoping they each take one side of the tank because they're not the kind to pair up like Banggai or Clowns.

I think I will add them to my wish list but will do more research before I decide for sure.
 
Cheers Luis! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day and International Green bottle day! My store was out of Rolling Rock ( probably because of the green bottle thing) so I got the next best green bottle.

Killer work with the tank man. You should be extremely proud of that. How old is the system again?

Thank you sir!! Umm well the nano was started September 2025 and everything was transferred to this tank January 9. The additional dry rock was pre-cycled in a brute can for a month.
