Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yup! I already added copepods from Algae Barn. They have helped tremendously.

Yeah, it's fin damage from the tailspot blenny who is nipping at him. But yes, there is white stiff on the fins and only the fins. I am not worried about disease as I have yet to find any white spots on the body, but I am definitely keeping my eye out.
Are you doing the ocean Magik?
 
Sorry, I realized I left everyone without updates. Like I have said, I update my build thread wayyyy more often, so if you'd like to get more updates, follow that instead of this. Here is a link to my build thread if you would like to go there.

I ordered berghia nudibranchs from Dinkins, and they came last Wednesday. I added them Wednesday, and since then I have saw 3 (spirals?) Of eggs. I am not sure what you'd call the chunk of eggs, lol.

Other than that, there is not much to update.
