Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thank you! 😊 Sorry you lost your discus, that must’ve been rough. Sounds like that 90 had a good run as a reef afterward though! A 25 can still make an awesome little setup. Is your 25 a reef too?
Good morning Nikki! Yes it is . I’m pretty sure I posted here yesterday as this is my home away from home on R2R. And the link shows up in my signature as well. And of course the my tank badge will take you there.
Hi Steve! I did catch your photos just took me a while to find them but I’m finally all caught up:)

Float the bags for about 30 mins to temperature acclimate, then put them in the tank. If you feel so inclined, you could drip acclimate them instead. I never do... however, I don't follow the "norm" though either

I was just gonna float them then place them so I’m glad I double checked google a thank you I will follow what you said I won’t drop acclimate cause it’s my first time alone. I feel like a scientist doing saltwater.😆
