What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh I think I bought those one at my lfs a guy had the owner order them and never came to get them. That was before I found dinkins and the owner turned into a jerk.

I love Dinkins but I also love Reef Nutrition, I buy these bigger ones mostly for my wrasses but a lot always stay in the tank too.

If they were readily available to me here I would buy some every now and then but they aren't.

They are basically very nutritious fish food, they don’t reproduce in our tanks like the ones you get from Dinkins.
 
Hello everyone. I hope you're all having a wonderful day. It's been a busy week. I've missed all of you. (Even (especially)Kevin)
Busy week is a understatement lol
 
I hardly know what day it is. Drop the kids off at school. Where is everyone? Ummm no school due to in-service. :face-with-rolling-eyes: At least I know this weekend is Daylight Savings. It is right?
What's a Daylight Savings?
 
You guys didn't get the rain this morning? Weird. I know you're a little further out but usually the east side gets hammered with rain and we get wind and sand.
We rarely get the rain from the valley down here or from Tucson for that matter. We keep hoping but it usually misses us.
