Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I don't know if it's still true but with a row boat and an extra hour you could catch 10 gallons of perch off the Sandusky pier.
Yes it is, although walleye and yellow fin perch are at the top of my list I think taste wise the yellow fin perch wins by a nose.

Agreed. There was a processing plant at the pier in Sandusky so when you were done fishing you could row over and for a couple bucks they'd take the buckets, dump them on a conveyor belt and a few minutes later you'd row back to the dock with a box full of perch butterfly fillets. Heaven. Now my favorite time to eat fish is during Lent when the local Culvers serves Walleye dinners and fish sandwiches.
 
Heck yeah man! My euphyllia get whipped around as well, but the flow is random. There are even slight pauses where the euphyllia look like they are in suspended animation!
Yep Ive got two wavemakers and a RFG flow nozzle fighting each other in random mode. The euphyllia look like they dont know which way it up lol
 
You too Tom. I had one loaded for you this morning

Well there goes any semblance of a productive Tuesday, the Master's Apprentices album got me stuck in a 60s-70s self-imposed jam fest. Here's the current one:

 
Here's one for you, well maybe myself but I think you'll like it as well.


Wow what a a collaboration! Id say you have one of the biggest American blues acts along with the Godfather of British blues rock (Mayall). Albert King's stage presence is hard to match. Great jam
 
My musical library has definitely increased. You all post some great music, a lot of it I've never heard!
Agreed. The music taste and knowledge on this thread have blown me away since day 1.
 
Whatsup everyone. Mixing another 15 gallons today for another change tomorrow. Right on schedule.
Good afternoon Camden, you’ve become a saltwater making machine!

you should hear the stuff that gets posted to the "Beyond Afterdark" thread.
I've listened to a lot of it as I'm reading to get caught up. You guys/gals bring out the good stuff 'after dark'. There has been many times I'll see a song and it takes me back to when I was listening to it, or where I was at the time, or what I was doing. Good times!
 
It’s strange, in Pennsylvania they don’t celebrate Taco Tuesday but Thai Tuesday instead. 😉

Whatever chicken dish that is, it looks really good!

Sounds perfect! Just make sure it's not too much flow so that the flesh band is being damaged. That usually happens with laminar flow though.

Now THAT is what it's all about
