Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
I think that success is stability. I initially started with a 82gallon May of last year and upgraded to the 150 February of this year. Tank husbandry is also important.

Thank you Jpg, I don’t have any corals on the overflow or the back wall but I think you should be able to use a magnet for that. Maybe something like this.

Must be snails i see... haha
