Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Old family favorite. Hope you like the recipe.

Feeling any better yet?
The can was huge! I’m going to divide it up in containers and freeze them for later use. Not feeling great today but it might not have anything to do with anything.
 
No idea what they have in common Steve. I was going to say the were all AM Radio hits but Heat Wave was too long. They all had singers and instruments but that's too easy. No idea.
They were all hits for 1963 ! It’s less than a month for my B-Day and I was on YouTube trying to think of some to post and a short referencing that topic came up so I ran with it.

I guess I was close but the extended version of Heat Wave threw me and no way I knew they were all 63. Happy upcoming birthday.

It is a little larger than single serving.

Haha, thanks I was a little tired when I was posting so it just hit me it’s 63 from 63. My how time flies.
 
I dont get the xichigan thing....
I believe it started out just in the stadium under Woody Hayes and then grew. Even every large McDonalds sign gets it.

Kevin im no dendrophylliidae expert, and it's hard to tell for sure but im seeing sun corals here. The sun coral polyps do not go into the skeletons as far as the dendros do, giving you this appearance.

Dendros withdraw further into the skeleton but have much larger polyps.

They do have a skeletal structure that resembles dendros more, but they're similar anyways.
I could be wrong and these may very well be dendros, the fact that they're usually closed, casts major doubt on that for me though.

Either way they're beautiful and unique. I want to add some sun corals to my tank.
