Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
just keep a close eye on water parameters every week and on fish
JBJ 45s are great tanks! The tank looks great for being so young. Did you up grade the return pump?

no the pumps that come with the tank has a lot of flow. my corals that I have it was really hard to place in the sand bed because of so much flow. Maybe down the road when corals get bigger may need to do something different. Starting out in my opinion is really a great start.
