00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[tbrown]

I have 2- 16HDs and then I’ll have the or4

16s are 50 watt, the OR4 is 60 watts, that puts you at 160 watts over a 90 gallon tank. Not a lot of light if you want light hungry corals like Acroporas. You should be good for most LPS and softies though.

Is this what Kevin of the south looks like? :smiling-face:

Hahahaha Yessir!! But Kevin has more mojo

I know this guy named Tim that buys stuff and his wife looks at him and says "What'd you buy this time?"

Yes sir, just softies and LPS

I want to do soft and LPS corals only!

I love Zoas, torches, hammers, gsp, pulsing Xenia, Gonis, etc.
Once I get enough I’m going to stock up

Sounds like a beautiful tank is coming. The best advice given to me when I started was, think of what you want in your tank, what you like and want to dedicate your space to. Because one day, you'll be out of room, and you won't want to stop buying/growing corals.

Did this "Tim" have a twinspot goby?

That's pretty neat! But also, my wife would kill me if I was still saying things like "you know what i should get for my tank" and "oh I want to get one of these!" While also saying "i bought a jellyfish tank!" :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Did you buy a jellyfish tank? I've been looking at them and researching for a out 2 weeks, which means I'm probably about to do something lol.

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

Yeah, I think they're out of screen tops.

Oh of course haha

 

[Imrahilwjz]

Yea and the 3 things I wanted to buy liveaquria doesn't stock haha so idek what I'm gonna use it for :loudly-crying-face: :face-with-tears-of-joy: :face-with-tears-of-joy:

That's where I got my toadstool with one of their gift cards.

LiveAquaria has a couple. Cheap.

I just coat it with a little yellow or Dijon mustard, hot sauce and a little minced garlic, or you can use garlic powder. Add salt and black pepper at the end. I also squeeze in a little lemon juice at the very end, right before I fry them or bake them. Let it sit while you prep everything else. The flavor goes into the meat really well. You can also use a 1/2 tsp-1 tsp of lemon zest, or omit it altogether. Then I batter it with seasoned cornmeal/flour mix and deep fry. (I'm from Mississippi I can't help it). You can also pan fry it in butter or avocado oil. It'll still at least lightly taste like fish lol

Sounds good Ile have to try it!

they just released our flounder season dates/regulations i can’t wait

Where you at in Mississippi I rebuilt a bunch of homes in the biloxi/diberville area after Katrina i really enjoyed it down there even though it was practically a war zone

Lol I did not. I actually told the wife about that conversation and she told me "you made the right call" lol

I thought about getting a coral or 2! I just like complaining because the 4 things i wanted most are out of stock or not stocked lol

They're half price! And there is a sithole 20% off coupon! You probably already knew this since you told me they were cheap lol

Good man. Lol

Man really!?? I live in Gulfport and work in Biloxi. It was devastated then for sure. Only someone that experienced it can understand how bad it was. I just walk the beaches and gig them or jig near the rocks. Trout are about to start biting too.

If you came back, you wouldn't recognize the place. A lot of the big homes on the beach haven't rebuilt, but we've pretty much made it back in the almost 20 years since it happened.

Someone I know, a guy named Luis, he buys the things and tells his wife that they cost between $20 and $50, that's the range or else he won them in a raffle ;)

I have such a good relationship with the owners of my lfs, I’ll spend $300 and they will make a duplicate receipt for $19.99 and my wife will say “that’s all you spent.” Of course dear!
