Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh for sure! Let's hope they don't get spoiled 😅
I think this first batch I'm going to feed all of them to different tanks then the next batch I might try to grow some of for them.
 
@kingranch2003 I looked at the hatchery this morning and there was already a ton of babies!
That is fantastic! How easy is that thing to use!?! And look how many eggs you have left! Free live food forever

I hope your fish love them as much as mine do. If I add a couple drops in the morning, they spend all day gorging on them!

It was so easy to use! Just add water and eggs and poof in less than 24 hours you have fresh fish food.

I've never tried it... is there a benefit to feeding live vs frozen regarding nutritious value or is it just to get picky eaters going.

I have read its more nutritious but I have also read it's the same so I'm not sure.
 
Good morning Smorgs! I haven't a chance to catch up yet, I will try as the day drags on. Another dumpster fire at work, but... I shall overcome!
 
Is this the right citric acid to clean my wavemakers with? I ordered some from Amazon but it got lost so they gave me a refund.
