What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Even after a crazy day I was able to come home and make my famous chili from scratch. This chili won a blue ribbon at the state fair chili cook off, beating hundreds of chefs. Bobby Flay took Second place. What a baby, he cried and threw a fit.

Lively Friday night crowd. Hello all!
Hi, it's a beautiful day here.
 
My little plate coral frag has almost tripled. I can't wait until it is a huge.

Wow, wow, wow, that’s beautiful Shelley! Does it have a name and where did you get it?

Bought it here on Reef2Reef from Enchanted Reef. Will need to look up its name. Arrived perfectly packaged in January. It was tiny and I took it off its plug since I saw an aptasia arm. Cleaned it up and put it on a sterile plug.

Are we not going to talk about that gorgeous pink goni!? Lol 😍 I'd have a tank full of these if I could keep them happy.

My first one. Picked it up in Denver at my first reef convention. No idea what I am doing with it. And thanks. So far so good. Closes up totally at night
 
I try to remember. More like twice a week. And not as much as they recommend. Seems to be working in my 40 with 1/4 tsp.
Ya I do half of what’s recommended. Makes the water cloudy for about an hour.
