Do you have a Reefing Super Power?

[Just a Wrasse.]

So let's say that a Reefing "Super Power" is something you do really well or know really well when it comes to keeping saltwater reef aquariums. It's a reefing special skill, area of expertise or the ability to grow coral like nobody else. It could be that you're awesome at fish disease diagnosis and treatment. It could be that you know aquarium lighting more than the average hobbyists. It could be many, many things. Let's talk about it today!

1. What is your reefing "Super Power?"

2. What reefing super power do you wish you had?

Laziness.

My super power is Acan-melting-rays from my eyes. No Acan survives my gaze

Been in the hobby a long time. Everytime I think I start thinking I am really good at some aspect of it the coral gods prove me wrong. So no superpowers just patience.

My super-power is an unbelievable amount of stubbornness.

If anything, spending too much money on coral?

 

[Auquanut]

I can read my fish's minds. Every day, I gaze deeply into their eyes and get a mental message. "FEED ME!" It's actually kinda scary.

I'm very fond of my procrastination skills!

My superpower is taking something some folks consider overwhelming, break it into easily understood pieces, then make a diagram of it. Fast forward a decade and suddenly my name is on it.....

In the words of Mr. Crabs.... "Money"

Patience is actually a wonderful superpower in this hobby.
A lot of people don't have patience and just start buying fish and coral which gives them a lot of trouble. They then don't have the patience to solve the problem they created and make it worse or quit the hobby.
I think patient people are one of the most successful in this hobby!

Visiting LFS for "inspiration" aka watching the tangs and dreaming of a large enough tank to fit them.

I voted "yes," if being fearless is a superpower. I dive in headlong, Bs to the W, and GSD.
