Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I was going to tell you to move here to Miami and open a restaurant here where eggs are cheap lol, and then I would go with you to help you on my days off ;)
Ok!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ok I have a question. With the 5 turbos tmrw I'm receiving 40 dwarf and Florida ceriths, 5 scarlet hermit's 2 speckled hermits, 5 assorted, 2 emerald crabs, 1 tiger conch, and 5 astreas I theory if all algae is eaten but GHA wouldn't they have to eat the GHA too survive? Also I feel like I'm missing a type of snail I really needed.
 
Especially now that they cost dang near a dollar per egg. What happened to $2 dollar dozen?
Sheeesh
Cage free eggs. Turns out when they're out with other birds chickens catch diseases
 
Yes we adults are all sus.... ;)
Sus= suspicious
Sigma= alpha male, strong,
Aura= coolness
Skibidi= cringe or funny
Just put the fries in the bag= a meme
Low taper fade= very popular meme
 
They aren't that bad here I think the last fresh ones we got not too long ago was $5 at the fruit stand near us
Over $4 a dozen at Walmart and that's if you buy a pack of 5 dozen
 
Who said that!
Which of you Smorgs have been talking without talking to big papa Smorg first!
Come on now Smorgs …caugh it help which one of yous was it! Hmmmmmm!

I'm paying $115 a case.
6 months ago they were $33.
Glad I'm the cook or I'd be on vacation, probably hit Ohio, then Maine,swing to the Carolinas, Florida then Arizona :thinking-face:
Back to Ohio for some fishing....
I know. It's insane. I used to get eggs at cash n carry by the 15 dozen, but they wanted $130 for 15 dozen last Friday
 
@Kingsley_Reef I apologize for letting you walk into this cattle trough of insanity alone. I saw his build thread guys and really liked his set up. You all should check it out. @Imrahilwjz @luis angel @tbrown . I thought you guys would especially take an interest in his build.

Vince, hang out and be yourself brother, that's what we do here. As mentioned above, I'm John.

Thankyou, appreciate it
 
I just had two but one was a male and he had to go so I have him to someone with a big pond and other ducks. Just having the one female wasn't too bad we had a kiddie pool for her.
Never had ducks.
Got bit by one once, chased by another while playing golf.
They terrify me....
 
How do you know all this stuff?
I love taking photos and I've had Samsung for years, first I had LGs which were the phones that took the best photos but they stopped doing phones
