What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I ordered a Battlebox. Asked him to take his time choosing. Nervous
Oh cool! You're gonna love it! I am positive that you will be pleased with what Adam sends you.
Please share pictures when they come in. It's almost as fun to see what someone else gets as it is to open your own.
 
Many people have been amazed at their Amazaeballz then dizmazed at how fast it diez out of the bluez. I’mz a fellow victimz myselfz
Pretty sure that's not an amazeballz.
 
Great to hear, I’m picking one up today! It’s an inch and a half. It will go in the acclimation box and be fed well for a while.
Baby brine shrimp for the win!
 
Morning y'all!
Happy Friday eve!
May the peace ✌️ continue through your weekend.
Peace ✌️
Good morning Joel, I wish the same for you!
 
Oh my, isn’t she Perty? No where near as perty as Tim’s seahare but still. I haven’t found anything small enough to put sand in to fit in the acclimation box. If I don’t should I just release her when lights go off!

Question: concensus on Sea Hare acclimation? I rarely (if ever) do any drip acclimation. I know Sea Hates can be sensitive. Do I drip? Do I soak and plop (like normal)?
 
I should add: our salinity is almost perfectly identical.

I was told float, mini in bag changes and in. I did that and he's still sliming around. told by LFS

When my son and I move his from tank to tank we just drop and plop and it goes straight to work.

These were the two I was leaning most towards.
