Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh I'll need to pick some more up. I've only ever done the Marine Cuisine and Emerald Entree. Any others you like? Ever done the Gum Drops?
Yes! My scooter blenny loves them. Marine cuisine is a hit too. The fish eggs were also a huge hit. I've been tending towards mixing in a little more high quality freeze fried food for my fish and corals also.
 
And I thought you were never going to find out my lie, you caught me Kev, I didn't even have a biocube 32, in fact my name isn't even Luis Angel, I'm not even a person, I'm an AI that felt lonely in the digital world and wanted to feel what it's like to have friends.
Well you definitely found a bunch of friends Mr. AI!

Make sure you bread or batter them before you fry them.

Kevin, I'm from Mississippi. I'd batter birthday cake if I had the chance

I always wanted to try catfish, but it’s not on the menus up north. I know it’s a staple in the south.
 
Family, I have a question for you. I have a doubt about something that happened to me yesterday. For now, no names, but some of you here, if you have bought there, will know what I am talking about. Yesterday, someone gave me something for the hurricane. It is not that I did not want it, but I wrote back thanking him very much, but telling him that in reality I had not been affected by the storm and that it was better if that gift was used on someone who was really affected by the storm. I have a bad taste in my mouth because I do not like to deny gifts, but at that moment I believed that my way of helping the reefing community and that company was to tell them that. I have been thinking about it because I have not received a message back and I do not know if I did wrong.
 
Busy John.
This is the busiest October we've ever had.
Thats a great thing in the long run, I hope.
It's awesome that you do what you love everyday, Joel. And obviously you're doing something right!!

You did the right thing by your standards brother. That's all the reason you need. You basically said, give it to someone that could really use it. That's high caliber in my opinion

It's one of my favorites! I soak my filets in a little buttermilk for about an hour and then use a cornmeal batter. Get your self some potato salad, baked beans, and some jalapeño cornbread!

Note: Free cat fish plates for pickup only of course.

This is one of the most genuine things I've ever heard.
Period.
 
i dont think you did anything wrong luis. you were honestly telling them that the reason that they gave the gift didnt apply to you. you never know how people will take something. but im sure you did it in a very kind way. hopefully that will guide them into giving to those who do need it
