Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

My wife makes a kielbasa, sliced up, with grape jelly, sriracha and I can’t remember what else, for outings. It’s been a while but decades ago when she first was making it I thought it sounded disgusting but I was surprised it tasted like slightly sweet barbecue sauce with a little heat.
My wife used to make a slow-cooked kielbasa and ginger ale as an appetizer for pot lucks. Only problem was I rarely got any. It was a big hit.

Come to think of it, I think her recipe calls for some Coke ( the beverage Keith!) also. I’ll have to check with her. That was a recipe I found that I thought was close to hers. She never used ketchup ( that’s for sissies) only chili sauce.

Not sure what the plan is - my daughter is the cook.
If you go the PBnBJ route, I'd suggest chunky PB and sourdough bread to maintain its authenticity.
 
That looks totally awesome Luis. Thanks for posting it, I don't have IG either.
Thanks Tom, I'll keep that in mind for the next time I post something to find a way for everyone to see it.
 
Can't say I've ever eaten pigeon. I guess it'd be similar to dove... or I could be wrong
The use domestic pigeons and probably genetically engineer them. Probably similar to a wild turkey and the turkey cooked at Thanksgiving with the huge white breast ( no giggling Keith) that prevents them from flying even short distances like their wild counterparts.
 
Good morning Tim. Have a wonderful Arizona day. At least it's a dry heat sir! 🤣
0 in precipitation, 15% humidity, 97°, feels like 100°, UV Extreme, Extreme Heat Warning in effect until 8 PM....

For the record, my oven is also a dry heat.

And if you consider the best jerky cooking temperature is only about 10 degrees hotter than the highs...
 
So I didn't have as interesting a night as @Anna K did but I awoke at around 2am to a loud noise. No idea what it was. My wife said it sounded like it came from the tank. I muttered something about 'I sure hope not', expecting to find coral and fish and water all over the floor. I went and looked at the tank and the Foxface was sitting in the corner in its 'death-mask' pose and breathing heavily but the tank was intact so I started looking around for other possible causes. Before I got two feet away a huge splash and water spraying out the top of the tank. Apparently a sea monster was terrifying the Foxface, most likely either the Possum Wrasse or the Hectors as they were the only ones out and about. I'm still assessing the damages but one of the torches is missing a head and the birdsnest was upside down in the plum hammer. You've got to love Foxfaces.

You need to move down to Casa Grande. Its 106 here but only 9% humidity so it still feels like 106, Oh and our UV is only Very High.
 
Great idea! I just did the same when we upgraded our 100a panel to a 200a panel.

Is that a beer bong on the shelf?
It's a Christmas tree funnel. I use it when I add pods

Lol, And it takes hours to make jerky Boil that same piece of meat and it's ready in 15 minutes.

So for some reason the foxface got scared but was the one who caused all that destruction?
