Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Red all day haha. That said, Milwaukee tends to favor electricians, plumbers, hvac, and Dewault tends to favor carpenters, and roofers etc.
what about Makita, Stanley, Bosch and Craftsman?
 
@luis angel, I forgot to ask, the big important question. Probably the biggest question to date, red or yellow power tools? Don't say blue please :face-with-tears-of-joy:
Unsolicited response:

Depends on the shade of blue
 
Red all day haha. That said, Milwaukee tends to favor electricians, plumbers, hvac, and Dewault tends to favor carpenters, and roofers etc.
Pink tends to favor chiropractors because only real men use pink tools. :winking-face:

Im not super against Dewalt, i bought a Dewalt miter saw, but as far as tools go, Milwaukee has such better tool options for Electricians, plumbers/hvac etc
Agreed. I use Dewalt for table saw, circular saws, drills, etc. Mostly for wood working and house project.
 
My calico crab passed away yesterday, had him for about 2 years. figured it was coming when he pushed food away. Wife said to bury him with our other pets in our pet cemetery. Only crab in there, but there is a 11 year old freshwater cichlid there also.

AHHHHHH, THAT'S THE ONE!!!

Very sorry for your loss <3

But I had one of these 17 years ago. All I could ever remember (or knew, from what the store told me when I bought it) was that it was a Calappa Sulcata. I REALLY want another one, it was the crown jewel of my tank before I had to tear it down for a move.

Sadly not appropriate for my current tank design :( The closest I can get in my community setup is a spotted porcelain crab (which was actually the first non-hermit, non-snail livestock in my tank).

And again, sorry to hear the news, they're simply gorgeous things.
 
you do know red and green are made at the same factory
You know red and green mixed together makes purple, I learned that bit of wisdom in public school.

He was wild caught from Port St. Joe Bay , was in one of my Pinfish traps
 
You're fantastic John and thanks for headlining all these late nights #Smorgasbordafterdark you're the bomb 💣
Thanks Joel! Thanks for accepting me into the family. I don't get to interact as much during the day. This was just a fun little way to give you all something fun to wake up to. It's outstanding how much everyone has embraced it.

Pinfish traps!?!? I know exactly what you're talking about. I love using pinfish for everything from trout to cabia and snapper. They're expert bait steelers, so it's funny to use THEM as bait.
