Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I can agree to this
I can remember when I was in high school my stepsister and I would cut out coupons from the newspaper ( I know you younger reefers are confused, it’s how us old timers would get the news before cable and the internet) for buy one whopper get one free and on our way home from church we go through the drive through and get home and pig out.

I’m 35 but I can say McDonald’s and Burger King are not the magical places today they were in the early 90s but then again the ball pit is probably why we never got sick as often as these kids are today then again it’s probably where I contracted athletes foot

My wife grows several kinds of mint. One of them is Chocolate Mint... and yes, it does have a chocolate mint taste!
We just planted our herb garden. Ill definitely be looking for this one
 
It works great, then it seems like the moment it gets full, literally if I'm a day late, it just starts overflowing like crazy to the point where i just drain the cup back in the tank, because it's clean anyway, then adjust my skimmer way back down. Suppose I should setup my skimmer to go off during feeding and turn back on a few hours afterwards or something
Is there a way to make a 1/4” hole and attach a tube? I didn’t get to my skimmer yet but this is how mine is set up. Flows through the tube after it collects 1-2 cups into the gal container. You could use a soda bottle too.

Not familiar with Checkers, is it like chess! Must be a southern franchise, never heard of it.

You don’t see then much anymore used to be abundant in the northeast they are also known in some parts as “rally’s”. Basic greasy burger milkshake fast food joint but heavily seasoned fries curly fries if I remember correctly but nothing crazy probably why they didn’t really survive
