00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Actually I posted two days ago and 1200 pages ago that I thought of you when I bought it. Colors don’t show well, its not in direct lighting, it’s a mostly royal blue with green streaks acan.

I love it! That is a gorgeous color combo. I obviously didn't do a great job catching up. I'm very glad you gave an update on it.

Another syrup boiling day, but mom and the baby are in town so I can putt around at my leisure today :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Man, that looks like a blast. A few states lower and you'd have the start of a crawfish boil!

We have one more OB appointment on Monday and then the plan is to arrive at the hospital at 5 AM on Wednesday for an induction (induced labor). Solid chance the baby will be born that day. Hopefully in time for the kids to come see her. They have that day off because it's a major first class feast, Saint Joseph. Josephina was thrilled, "The baby's going to be born on my saint's feastday!"

How exciting Wes. My heart and Prayers are with your whole family

So when I first fill the reactor, I flush it in the sink with fresh water so no salinity issues.
I then install it in the sump.
That's why I like reactors outside the sump.
I always plumb the output with floppy hose in case I want to shut it down but the media is still good.
Another way I did it is hook the pump to a timer and run a couple of hours a day.
Either way, test,test, test.

Ok Joel, my Kasa power strip has the option to set a timer for each space, now I set one so that the reactor works 6 hours a day, today I can't test because I ran out of reagents but tomorrow I'll get it.

We call them crawdads out here. I've done a crawdad boil before. We were out camping so no seasonings except salt and pepper but some fresh lemon juice and butter for dipping.

Ours are catch and kill. They want us to toss them way up on shore if we catch and don't keep. They're invasive.

Oh I don't think maines like that but maybe I should look into it! Maybe I've been missing out on this gem all along! Although, I have never heard of a crayfish boil in maine before :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Why would you? You have lobsters! Crawdads are just muddy little lobsters. Lobsters are sweet, crawdads taste more earthy.

Lobsters aren't something I could catch myself. I wish, but the lobster industry is basically only for certain families and friends of their family. If I wanted to get into it, it'd be extremely hard.
