Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Forgive me if I'm not very talkative guys. I'm dealing with a considerable amount of pain in my back this weekend and I'm not the best company right now.
Take care of yourself Amanda!
 
That should be exciting Steve .
That and I’m slightly terrified. Let’s just say due some things in my childhood I don’t do well with upheavals in my life. Though that seems to be the norm these last few years.
 
Good morning! I walk over to the tank today…look at the white spot, was this from getting attacked? Still swimming normal but rests on the sand

Good morning Mike, I have a McCoskers I put in yesterday doing the same thing. Hopefully they both perk up as the day goes by.

Yeah that’s not normal. I had a Melanurus and it swam around without stopping. Since it’s the same genus it should be as well.
