Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning everyone, did anyone say up past 10:00pm? Did I miss anything? @Reef Devils , not sure if you want to pay this much but you get it for a week. Maybe some local reefers would want to use it and all chip in to make it very cheap. I thought I got the price in the picture, I believe it is $55.

Thanks for sharing this.
If I can rent it from BRS for 7 days that would be great.
Thank you
 
Ok, I feel like I need to do some posts so that anyone on the outside looking in doesn’t think I got kicked out of this cool club. Last night I was watching a movie and finishing off my second case of beer, yes it made it and I should be able to get out and stock up today. I glanced at my tank and my fish were going crazy. I grabbed my flashlight and my tank was filled with these little creatures, bigger than pods. They weren’t graceful swimmers and were kinda shaky. The fish were going crazy eating them. First thought were both my cleaner shrimp bottom sides were full of yellow eggs but eggs were still intact. Not sure what and where the little things came from. Snails, crabs, urchin, rfas or clowns spawned and I didn’t know it?
I had something similar happen about a month ago. The lights were starting to go down in the tank. All the fish were going crazy eating these creatures that were bigger than pods.

Sounds exactly the same as my lights were going down, hence the flashlight. Just really curious as to what they were. They must be delicious! I tried to catch one so I could eat and taste it but the fish beat me to it!

Once I had a piece of frozen fly in my mouth when I was cutting it up. Nope. Just nope. Wasn't tasty.

My clownfish were having a feast.

OMG ( that is oh my god for you older people) I hope it wasn’t LRS Reef Frenzy, that stuff smells funky! My wife and daughter get grossed out when I’m cutting it up in the kitchen.

Actually it was. The smell is better than the taste.
 
Is it true that Guy Fieri and his crew are going to be there this morning? Let us know when it will be aired on the Food Network!
I don't think his camaro could make it here and he's NOT allowed without the camaro.
 
Good morning y'all! @00W I hope you have a busy morning$$$ I also hope people remember to say please and thank you. Maybe church will help remind them today.
Oh the church crowd....
Sometimes happy, sometimes pretty mad don't know who you'll get lol.

I know that you are the chef but not true. Back in the day when I was on death’s door and didn’t eat solid food for over a year I lived on the Food Network and there was at least one episode where he was in a city where he rented a classic convertible corvette. Hey, when are you going to take on Bobby Flay? After seeing your plates , I’m putting my money on you!
