Additional Aquarium Information

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

I actually like turkey bacon, but don't consider it the same dish as actual bacon. It should be "cured turkey meat scraps " or something like that.
I consider it better. Calling it "meat scraps" is a sin! It has better crunch, less grease, and less fat than bacon. It should be called something like "crunchy turkey slices".

Well, okay, but however good it tastes, I'm sure it is literally scraps. Kinda like chopped "ham". Not saying anything bad, I like chopped "ham" too.
 
That's see you tomorrow, Kev. Good morning is Buenos dias... Lol.
So instead of saying good morning John, he said see you tomorrow Keith? Kevin Ive never agreed with the public school, or age deprecating jokes you make about yourself.

Until now...
 
Either way, they are both quite striking fish.
Especially since I dont see a difference. The fish is barely an inch long anyways lol
 
Everything looking good today?
Like nothing ever happened, Tim. Im still spinning from the seemingly random incident. I know I had nitrites, and my tank cleared it up. I did a good water change and cleaned the aio sump. Maybe one of the fish died earlier, and I didnt realize it? Seems unlikely bc they weren't even swarmed by nassarius yet, but I just can't figure it out. Thanks for asking man, and reminding me of those drawings.
 
So I made chicken kabobs last weekend. My son has been making chicken quesadillas with the chicken so the wife wanted me to make some more. In the second picture the one second to the left is for you Paul. I overnighted it to you, make sure you temp acclimate and then open with lights out 😉
