Great looking tank! What do you think your key to your reef's success has been?
 
Thank you. I think the key to success is watching the corals they will tell you if they are unhappy and keeping a strict maintenance and testing routine. This system was started with 100% dry rock and was a struggle to get to stable. Also I think interceptor is a must for systems with sps it’s crazy how many dealers and local hobbiests have red/white bugs.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 9 25.0%
  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 6 16.7%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 5 13.9%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 10 27.8%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 25.0%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 6 16.7%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 5.6%
  • I haven’t really considered this before
