TANK TALK: What is your dream fish or invertebrate?
I'd love another valantini puffer, or something else in that family, solandri perhaps. There are a few wrasse, leopard and naoko come to mind.

But first to mind was powder brown tang ... And wouldn't you know,

That's such a difficult question to answer. I feel like it's a moving target. But I would have to say, that I would love to have the skill and setup for an octopus. I would also love to see a tank with an amazing eel too.

TANK TALK: Coral placement... How do you decide where to put a new coral in your reef? Is it based strictly on the coral's needs, is it about how it looks, a bit of both (how do you balance that)?
If I know the corals need, I'll try to accommodate. But I'm not amazing at that. I put them where I think they fit, then dislike it for a while till I ask for help or it dies.

admittedly most of my coral lives on the sandbed for a long time because I HATE gluing stuff. I also have commitment issues. I dont keep Acros so its not really a problem.

Bit of both. Or in my most recent case, emergency response:

While I dont have coral yet. The placement I would use is Needs first then looks. I Think the balance comes in with what kind of scape you create in your tank.

TANK TALK: Share a lesson you've learned from your reef tank that applies to life outside the aquarium. It could be patience, resilience, or the importance of balance. Comment with your reef-inspired life lesson for entry into the giveaway
Mine is patience. Ivused to be quick to judge or rush into things. After some failures in reefing, I was forced to learn patience. It has helped a lot with my tanks, but also my relationships with others. Empathy has also drastically improved.

I make it more about how visible it is, I want them to look good where it is, while also having its needs being met.
