Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Both frequent water changes and not doing frequent water changes, and constant testing.
I’m a huge fan, this my first saltwater tank and I was bummed I couldn’t do any anemones except a rock flower, so when we got the cerianthus into my job I was super excited. It’s fun to watch and feed, couldn’t ask for more tbh
 
Have you faced any difficulty's keeping a RFA in a 5-gallon tank? I'm looking to add one to my 5 gallon, but I have never kept a RFA before.
