Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Do you find he's much more of a meat eater than greens?
I do see him picking at the glass like you said he would but Im unsure if he is eating film algae or pods. I currently have so many pods you can see them scurrying around on the glass with lights on. I would lean more towards a meat eater though.
 
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!
Don't know about Bobby but chopped would be a blast!
If I win I'm taking us ALL on vacation.

I talked to a chef that was on it and she said it wasn’t the bazaar contents in the baskets that was hard but it was the time that made it so difficult.
 
Major ice storm here.
Absolutely terrible roads.
My truck was frozen shut this morning. I only live 1 mile from the Cafe but man, white knuckling it the whole way.

I'm sure.
I'd be so nervous I'd pee my pants.
 
So Amazon says glue is out for delivery...hmm
I don’t know what your road conditions are but I’ve used super glue gel from dollar general and worked just as good as the expensive stuff and it was a lot cheaper.
 
looks nice..a great get away
Yes, what @00W said! Not a lot of intellectual discussion going on here just a lot of nonsensical banter. Feel free to jump in with some nonsense!
