Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It's amazing how far your tank has come. I was honestly taken back a bit when I just saw it.
Awe thank you! I will have to get you a better picture in a bit after I get my new torch.

Yeah that would be cool. If you just happen to take another one under heavy blues, that'll be ok too 😉

Not much my friend. Just stopped by the lfs and ended up with a baby blue and pink goni. Ill show yall a picture when it opens up. I hope you and yours are doing very well
Woo hoo!!!! You know how I love the gonis... not sure why I lost 3 of mine a while back since everything tested good but the remaining one is doing well and I hope to eventually replace the ones I lost.
 
I think I will move the coral in the circle and put my new torch where it is near my smaller torches.

Your tank is beautiful Amanda! The torch will love it’s new home!
 
Send some of your Strats Tim!
I’ll walk you through shipping
I need to frag some. I've got a couple larger frags on a rack I need to remove. 1 is for Suzi, 1 is for Cody, and there's 1 or 2 more 5+ polyp. I could definitely send you one.

Thank you!!! I have it temp acclimating in the sump right now. I will have to put it on the sand for tonight. I had forgotten I used the last of my super glue and coral epoxy when I placed the order from hellfire corals a few weeks ago. It looks good in the bag and will look amazing in the tank!

Well, looking at everyone's tank shots here, i did not want to look like I was lacking
We all started with nothing so you should show us what you got.

I am SO glad. Noreen helped with this since the torches were so big.
Was the water still warm??
Please post a pic once it is in the tank.
