Good Sunday morning friends, Over coffee thought about the past two years of reefing and all I’ve learned some of it the hard way

. My tank has had its share of troubles some say Murphy was a little tougher on me than others but I learned from each problem that came along.
Algae check I’m good at growing it and in the end getting rid of it. Dino’s x3 ,GHA , cyano,slime,and bubble have all been part of the reefing life.
Equipment failures check heaters ato lights pumps. Heaters and pumps had spares thanks to reading others threads

Death I’ve killed more than Cecil B Demille in his movies. Fish aggression / grouping/ timing of add, mystery deaths, not qt my coral bringing velvet to tank, and killing fish while cleaning the tank.
This hobby can tear your heart out but the rewards for staying the course learning and moving on are many. A slice of the ocean in your home , the pride of keeping that fish or coral labeled expert only online gives immense satisfaction and pride. Best of all a chance to meet folks and form friendships over a common loved hobby.
Just over two years in still trucking and looking forward to more to come.
Thanks all for the support here
