What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

How was everyone’s Wednesday? I'm still waiting for some details on the tank, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it.
Good day here hope yours was as well
 
I've been watching videos these days on how to grow pythoplankton and copepods and it's something I'm going to prepare well to start doing in the near future
will need some rotifers for babys. the old tanks used to produce so many copepods and amphipods! unfortunately i have forgotten 99% of the two years of spanish i took 30 years ago.... omg. old

You need rotifers to serve as a channel for pythoplankton to reach the larvae for the first 10 days until they do the metamorphosis, that is another thing I have to learn well for the future.

Kevin, did you ever go to Ted Drewes in St. Louis?
Not sure, I moved over 31 years ago. I’m lucky to remember to put my shoes on before I leave for work. For the past five years I’ve been wanting to ask my family physician to increase my dementia medication but I keep forgetting to ask :zany-face: !

It's a frozen custard place. We went 2 times in our trip. It's a St. Louis classic. Concretes ring any bells? Anyways, Ted Drewe Jr. passed away today. Thought you may have liked to know.

Ya, definitely didn’t go there, I don’t like sweets. No ice cream, cake, cookies, pies etc. I hope you all don’t think I’m a monster! Ted Drewe Jr. ?

He created Ted Drewes I think. Or maybe his dad over 100 years ago.

When did this happen?
 
I never watch the news so most of the time I don't know what's going on. Lol
Yeah, I don't watch the news often but I do follow some things.

I use to watch it but I found all it did was either make me sad, angry, or worried so I decided not to torture myself. Lol
