Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Less is more as far as additives, Do the basics. There are so many products out there. I swear it just over complicates your reef. Invest in good test kits and keep it stable.

Clear plastic looks like its from window blinds.
As for the holder which is what I think we are guessing on...
an algae scrubber or squeegee handle?
Nice you nailed it it’s two algae scrappers. Plastic is the mounts that come with the light that I cut shorter.
