Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
How can that be called football if it's not played with your feet? It should be called handball and leave the other name to the real football lol 😉 🤣
Um kick off, punt and field goal?
 
And how many points does that add up to lol
Let’s just say one field goal, which is rare, is three points that pretty much is the average points scored in a soccer game. Oh and I forgot the extra point, that’s one. So I’say on average, including both teams we are looking at about 10-20 points per game by kicking a ball. 😉
 
I hate to hit and run since I’ve never posted in this thread before but I could not agree with this statement more. I’ve had it from many places, although only in WA and CA, and I’ve never once been impressed. I’ve never had a slice of brisket that I liked. Give me a nicely charred medium rare New York steak or an ribeye anytime over anything bbq.
Plus 1 for the tacos.
End of controversial take. I’ll see myself out.
Stop by any and every time Warren!
 
Good morning everyone for got to say that. I'm afraid covid may be stopping by my house again. One of our great nephews came by Friday for about an hour and he was in my lap loving on me most of the time because he's my buddy and was tired we thought just from playing too much. Then we got a call he has covid last night and this morning I woke up feeling like I have a fever with a stuffy head. I'm hoping that maybe I just over did it being outside in the heat yesterday.
Take it easy today Amanda...
 
Good morning everyone!
Have the best Sunday!
Be good to one another ✨
Peace ✌️

Morning Peanut, I hope not!
 
I haven't seen mine fluctuate as much as it has done in like the last 12 hours. but sadly I noticed I am missing a peppermint shrimp. no evidence. wonder who hid the body? Fire shrimp is still there.
Do you have nassarius?
 
Good morning Smorg! I made it, alive and well! Couldn’t say that for the younguns this morning at the breakfast buffet, they all looked like made up for an episode of the Walking Dead.
 
What method do you use to grow mushrooms?
Usually spawn to bulk media. Ill create a liquid culture with liquid spores or spore prints from mushrooms ive grown in the past. Once you get a healthy culture you will achieve mycelium growth that will colonize your media. I keep these in large temp humidity controlled containers until they fruit.
It's also a lot of fun to grow on old tree logs, bore yourself some holes in the logs and fill them with pieces of wooden dowel pieces that are colonized with liquid culture. It's a lot more in depth than that, but there's a rundown. If youre interested in getting started id be happy to help you brother.
 
I won't. You drive Fords and don't know that real BBQ is how you cook the food, not the sauce you use to hide the flavor of a poorly cooked piece of meat.
You got the wrong guy buddy. Enjoy your electric smoker and Chevy or whatever.
 
Nonuse arguing with some people. They're lost causes.
Especially when youre arguing opinions and not facts. Captain upset

Edit: I said captain bu++ hurt. They edited it to "upset" which I thought was hilarious.
