Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Constant maintenance
Beautiful little nano you have there! Are those green Palys? I'm usually not the biggest fan of plays, but those look great in your tank.
 
You've got your nano packed out with some great looking corals!
 
Happy to see your system displayed, it's lovely.
You're so right about constant maintenance, but rewarding.
