Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Manual removal was a bit easier yesterday. Made bald spots etc. Also moved my urchin and he sat on the rock I moved him at and I haven't checked on him since. Also my conch has been in the sand a few days now. At night he will pop his eye out and look around, that's all he does.
 
so today my phone dinged that someone was at the front door while away shopping. a woman with a backpack and a jug in her hand was there trying to open the door and knocking. then went around to the side of the house and tried to get in. Came back to the front and saw it was a cleaning lady at the wrong house. Too bad the door was locked. I could have had a free cleaning today because she showed up at the wrong house. it's happened before but I was home at the time. google maps takes people to my house instead of the street next door for some reason.
 
The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup! I think only you and I will understand it Joel. ;)
make that 3 that get that.
I have found though Kicking Horse Kick butt coffee is pretty good.

We developed our own blend of coffee at the Cafe with the help of a local roaster in the area.
He let us pick beans one night and we came up with our own blend.
Fun experience.
When I'm at home I prefer Peet's.
 
A mystery solved, 2 months ago at night I noticed thousand of very small shrimps shape. I never have shrimp in the tank. It was hermit larvae.
Could be copepods or amphipods??? Copepods are very small, amphipods are quite a bit larger and you can see them without a magnifying glass... some of mine are probably 1/8th to a 1/4th in length. Great at eating algae and detritus from places in rocks that snails can't reach.

I will neither confirm nor deny any knowledge of this phrase.

Nothing wrong with a free housecleaning! When she's done, send her over!
