Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
While working with uncommon sense I found a 400$ 90 gallon reef ready tank.
It includes: a full sump (it's pumps and skimmer), hob overflow, two Hydras and some rock.
That's less expensive then adding a sump for my current tank... Should I upgrade?
Not until you resolve the floor issue. If you are having floor movement issues with a 65 gallon with HOB going bigger is just asking for disaster. I'd say yes to the upgrade if you knew what your stability problem is and had a clear method to resolve it. Your dad will not be happy if you put a hole in the floor and dump 90+ gallons of water on and under the floor.
Yep this is the first step before any form of upgrade!
 
Forgot to mention here.
Both of mine enemies have moved from their original spot and are on a journey. I guess. The smaller one has shrouded itself in a dim part of the tank underneath the power head and the bigger one is currently on the glass being disturbed by snails but I'm sure that will stop soon. I don't know why this is happening as my leather corals are extremely healthy and growing and my two euphyllia are the best they've look done very long time. Do an anenomes not like low nitrates?
 
New corals are in the tank! And the wavemaker covers are on! They are really well made and fit perfectly! The corals aren't totally happy yet so I will add the card that @VintageReefer wife made me! You can't go wrong ordering from him! They were super well packaged and they are beautiful and healthy.

Hey your beautiful new corals have their very own Merry Go Round.

They are awesome Amanda! What’s the torch?
 
Good afternoon Camden! Just think twice if you and your friend start cooking and selling meth. Look how it ended for Walt!
Psychedelics are more profitable and trendy these days anyway.
