Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
If I lived closer I would’ve have brought you a case of Carona with your Cheerios!
See, this is what I’m saying, some of your favorite foods just don’t go together!

Tacos - Mac n’ Cheese
Cheerios - Corona

But you wouldn't have Mac and Cheese as a side with your tacos????

I swear Joel, you must be the most interesting man in the world!
He’s at least the most interesting Idaho, meme-loving; taco creating; baseball fanatic; cares for other before himself; chef we’ve ever known!
 
Though I'm only ~2 months in, felt like I had to post in this thread at least once, tank threat coming soon^TM.

Given the topic, try the chicken taco platter from Costco... a personal favorite here!
I don't think Joel minds how long you've been salty as long as you're willing to talk about tacos!
 
Poor Jennifer wouldn't eat our tacos if our truck pulled up in front of the hospital. I promise to try not to be offended.

Oh, I’d order the real ones, that you bring out for only the most discerning of tacos connoisseurs

Unfortunately that's people like Joel and I and we eat macaroni and cheese tacos so... I'd make a special one for you without macaroni and cheese but it'd basically be a toasted tortilla with meat and salsa with cheese and sour cream so...
 
But would you eat Cheerios Tacos????
If the taco shells were crispy fried, with refried beans in it, and Cheerios sprinkled on top with very very hot but good flavor habernero sauce
