Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Funny enough, I like tofu dishes. One asian place near us had a spicy tofu dish that was incredible. Sadly, tofu, depending on how it is cleaned, can tear you up.
 
Hello Smorg! It's been a long and busy day! I will try to log on tonight and catch up.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Hi Rock!!! Hope it's been good even if it's been busy for you!
 
I wounder how hard it would be to build a freshwater tank that looks saltwater, then put some African cichlids in it

I had a big tank full of AC's several years ago. It was one of my favorite tanks and the closest looking setup to saltwater looks IMO
 
I would threaten them with a lawsuit if they keep posting pictures of your fish without your expressed written approval.

That reminds me of when Biota posted my photo lol 😁

I actually was severely addicted to freshwater, i ran close to 14 breeder tanks for danios, fancy guppies, and albino cory cats, which a LFS bought from me until he went out of business. The guppies were easy, worked mine down to two types, yellow/black and orange/black, the danios were not to much trouble. The cory cats were the hardest to get to lay eggs and touch and go if the eggs were fertilized or not.
 
Don't waste your time, Tim. This man will never be able to see the light. And it doesn't stop at coffee, but it applies to every hot and liquified substance. This includes, but is not limited to, hot chocolate, soups of any kind, and tea. Do you know how it feels to be a basic pumpkin spice woman who can't make her family soup in the fall and winter?

Give him two options when it comes to food:

Take it
Leave it

How about a nice, freshly juiced ginger shot with apple or lemon and some turmeric or cayenne in the morning?
My wife mixes that with apple cider vinegar...

Half of my daily intake, pardon more than half of my daily intake is coffee...

I think #2 is what I would go with. Simple but effective. Nicely done.
Thinking of ditching socks and going with floss (flat roll 1 inch thick) so with that in mind, what do you think of this. not worried about any noise from the weir.

I'm the exact same way. My minimum goal every day is 100oz of water. What's funny is that prior to college, I never drank water, but slowly developed a habit for it. Now I can't go more than 20 minutes without getting a sip of water. I keep a 32oz Yeti on my at all times filled with water, and whenever we go places, I always pack bottles of water on top of it because of how much I drink
128ozs for me.
