Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
If you have the money to throw do so. If you are lucky enough to be able to recoup it by selling off pieces for less to fellow reefers then do so. My softie tank is only 40 gallons. Can only put so much in it. I plan on spending my kids inheritance. 🤣 But would prefer trading and paying it forward rather than $600 for something tiny. Here is my almost $600 find. And it has almost tripled in size.
Beautiful neon marine tribble .

Nice plate!
 
That’s sad 😞 for your wife . She needs a Birthday present that describes how much she means to you . Even if you made it your self . Fix it and don’t call it her birthday 🎁
She means so much to him that he wants to make sure that she can lower the amounts of dangerous bacteria on her hands, by getting her a sink!

That sounds like the makings of an episode of Smosh reading from Reddit about hubs messing up and asking am I the

for making fixing the sink my wife’s Birthday gift?
I think we know the verdict. That’s like me making a tuna sandwich sticking a candle in it a wishing happy birthday 😟
 
Just a quick question. Who covers their scolymia or other corals for feeding? And which type that doesn't float works for you and why. Best size, hole placement ect. Darn snails are taking the food right out of their mouths!
The top portion of a 1 or 2 liter coke bottle cut off, works perfectly.
 
@steveschuerger I live in Wyoming. No where to buy much for my tank. So when I saw the tiny plate I thought, self, you gotta have that glorious little flower. And used money I earned from cleaning the clinics tank. And when it gets large I hope to trade or sale its babies. And put one in the clinics tank. 😹
