Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Why not let things grow?
I like to bonzai and help other get cool frags while keeping my consumption down. It also helps financially to support the tank. I also do water delivery to people local to help them with their ro needs that helps with my cost of that as well.
 
Mine sits mid tank, directly under the light. Low light makes them more pink, higher light makes them more orange I think.
Yep I definitely agree!
 
I see purple and tiny blue
What you actually see is a masterpiece of a true mixed reef tank with every type of coral, color, and growth pattern under the sun.
 
Oh man today and tomorrow would be ideal! 😆 Put that hemi in flight mode Rock!

There might be a small window of days left for this season, but it's almost over for the year. Late March to the end of May and September to the first week of November are the peak seasons for wading (my favorite btw)
Better wear heavy cloths , it’s cold out there ?
 
I agree. Mine is definitely red though
I just checked, the pieces on the sand bed are more orange, mid level is more pink. I'd imagine higher up would definitely be more red then.
 
This pineapple tree (capnella sp) has grown from a 3” inch stick to this impressive masterpiece in a year. One of my favorite corals in my tank.
