What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I was going through Lisa’s build thread and she was going through a vendor in PA for live black worms, I’m already feeding freeze dried. I might go that route, I slacked off and lost both cultures.

I'm not as familiar with them as I am with the white worms. It Would be cool to try something different. Id imagine you culture them in a similar way to white worms.

I’m assuming that you just feed until you are out and then order more. My fish did love the white worms though. Supposedly the black worms are even more nutritious.
