Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
I would say daily water testing and correcting any irregularities that are not within my parameters, is the key to my reef’s success.

Lol my bad, not sure how I pulled that off. But honestly, I am not surprised you had kept them That's great to hear. I picked up a small frag of goldenrod. Loving the yellow with blue tips. I treated it almost like a digi in placement, flow and lighting. I've finally added some sps.

I wanted a red anacropora, definitely! I couldn't find one so I threw some bubblegum digis up there for contrast. Man you can't beat the color of a good sps colony contrast.

Love the bubble gum and forest fire. I’ve got one of each and they just recently started growing new tips. I’m going to try and graft them.
I can’t find any posts about people trying to graft them together.
