Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yes but it was placed in a pool of melted butter. Not sure what the small white roots were. Like mini turnips but just white. Almost golf ball size. Didn’t recognize the taste.
Hmmm.... Id say maybe rutabagas if they weren't goofball sized. Looks great though.
 

I listened to this song the day before Hurricane Katrina hit. I told my friend that I hoped the song wasn't a bad sign. The lyrics sound like it was written for that storm
 
Oh have you ever had ice wine? Its made from grapes that have frozen and it's sweet and yummy.
Yes, used to make it too. Pretty much have made everything. Something easy for you to make at home is Kahluha.

4 cups granulated sugar
3 cups water
3 cups vodka
2 tablespoons almond extract
8oz instant coffee
1 vanilla bean
Boil water then add sugar, and coffee. Boil for ~30 minutes or until it is a foamy boil. (careful not to burn or boil over). Let cool completely. Then add remaining ingredients and Bottle and let sit in dark cabinet for 30 days.
 
I have never seen those? What do they taste like?
Awesome. It is a winter squash. Can find next to Acorn squash typically. I used to cut it in half and put a little butter sugar and cinnamon in it and bake it till soft but found making rings out of it and basting in coconut oil and Salt and roasting under a broiler till brown is far better. Even on a grill.

I don't drink anymore but that sounds yummy

As an FYI, I used to make my acorn squash by slicing in half, adding half the hollow with butter a table spoon of sugar and some cinnamon cover with aluminum foil then baking until soft. In a lasagna dish. Then just serve it as a bowl for the person to stir up themselves with a fork.
