Additional Aquarium Information
- What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
- I think the key to a successful reef tank is patience and solid reef husbandry. I make it a habit to check in on the tank every day, just to be sure all the livestock is healthy and thriving. Keeping water parameters stable and where they should be is a big part of it too—it all works together to keep the reef happy.
