Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have had no issues finding my Pitho. unless we are talking about something else. they are always under the sand until lights out or early morning. I'm not a total nerd watching through the night. usually I'm sending John inappropriate music videos when the tank lights are out.
I hope you have your robe closed due to the reflection on the glass!
 
How is Senor Leopard doing?
He really seems to be going after the brine shrimp. Im was hoping to use them to train him to frozen foods, but he ended up eating some yesterday. Things are looking up for him my friend!

Dwarf Angels have a soft spot in my heart... I'll get rid of the corals it's nipping before I get rid of my Dwarf Flame.

They were one of the fish I fell in love with that made me want to get into saltwater. Do you happen to know which corals they are more prone to eat that way I can just avoid buying them?

Meaty corals like Lobos, Acans and sometimes softies like leathers... mine currently nips at my sinularia, cabbage leather and candycane but I can't see any damage at this time, probably mouth is still too small. My Flame Angel is still fairly small.

If it becomes a problem I'll swap those out with something it doesn't touch or end up with an SPS tank 😅

Oh man I love my Leathers hopefully she doesn't bother them. I have sinularia and cabbage as well as Devils Hand. Maybe if we keep them well fed they will behave.

That's what I thought, gets fed 4 times including sponge from the angel formula and it hasn't helped 😅
 
Crazy that the schools allow that
Don't even get me going about it.

Random fact, but I do speedrun Half-Life 1 very casually. I've lost track of how many times i've beaten it so I started learning to speed run it. I know a lot of the major skips in the game and some of the minor stuff. Not going for records or anything, it's more like a comfort game to me. Get on it, speed run through it, and call it a day
I do a speedrun to the bathroom sometimes. That's gotta count for something.

and its in my cart. but trying to find compliments.
Hey, Paul, you know something, you're a kind and handsome fella! (Oh, wait, I think you meant complement.)

Ding ding ding, winner winner chicken dinner!

I was going to go with Camelback Mountain but then saw she's in Scottsdale. SO, I'll say that I think she's in Scottsdale. Do I win anything?

Yeah, for instance, I'm pretty sure the purple with a white stripe and orange cerata is a sponge eater, only one or two species of sponge at that.
You talking about the teachers?

But it's Vinny Barbarella!
There, it's correct now.
