Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have used nudis in the past but have an aptasia eating filefish in 4 systems. Aptasia in the oveflows but none in the systems.
Same with bubble algae. Emerald crabs in the system keep it confined to overflows, powerheads, and sumps.
Cleaned the 6255's today during my monthly 5% WC.
Bubbles gathered in their masses, just like withces at blackmasses, lol.

I wish I could clean that for you. I love cleaning things like that. Popping all that bubble algae. Does that make me weird? 🤷‍♀️ Who cates. 🤣
 
Okay, now I am curious. I am sure there is a story here. You would be surprised to know how many folks I have counseled for making one bad decision. And that trip to Ohio was on my bucket list. Getting to fly commercial while armed and undercover. Here is a photo of my partner and I picking up an inmate in California. And one of myself leaving my hotel room. Sorry about the PTSD. It's a real thing.

Tough to damage such a perfect piece. It will have to outgrow its space.

I'm sure there are many people out there that would say that you helped them. Some you may know, and some you may never know the impact you had on their lives.

No, but being able to keep a goni alive makes you weird. That's some alien stuff right there!
 
only one tank? and you call yourself a reefer? 😊 😊

I had to set up a 40 breeder to move all of my LPS to so that I could add the Peppermint Shrimp. It was cheaper than trying to get a tank set up for the Pintail (and Possum before it crooked).

I'm hoping to get back to one tank someday.
I am down to 6 now. Can't wait to be done with the qt. ones!
I've got a 30 polyp for $350 right now local and no one wants it. I've got a 6+babies for $150 and no one wants it.
What is this coral?
 
Why that little criminal. Stealing bases. Major league theft if I’ve ever heard one. 🤣 🤣 🤣
You'd think with that copper hair, you'd see him getting ready to take off on you. I hope to pass many things down to him in my life, but I did not give him his speed. 😆
