Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Looking at my tank everyday, identifying difference day by day a day addressing them accordingly.
I to know the "work in progress" part. Your tank looks great!
 
Thank you guys, i still considered my self quite the amature at this. The reef is about 3 yrs old but it been already thru 2 different tanks (this tank being the 3rd one) so I've definitely had share of losses and crazy things happening.

I finally got the tank size I've been wanting since day one (8 footer) for an unbelievable price so I'll be doing another tank transfer and hopefully the last one (smh lol) Before the end of the summer.

This hobby helped me go thru one of the toughest times of my life and now that those times are behind me, I feel even more motivated to push forward and build a memorable reef.

Thank you for the compliments, they mean alot more to me that anyone can imagine.

Ps.
It has not been my smartest financial decision tho 🤣
