I prefer the Chipotle Cholula but both are good.
I have never tried that kind before! I used to use Tabasco Chipotle sauce all the time when I went to college. It would make bland chicken nuggets taste good.

Tabasco to me has too much of a vinager taste and I don't like vinager.

Honestly, I'm not too huge on Tabasco either. That Chipotle one was good, had more of a smoky taste to it. We are a Franks Red Hot family in this household
 
Good choice, Cholula Original is my favorite hot sauce for eggs. Just the right heat, flavor, and consistency, although for the last year or so I've ben using salsa instead to make sure I'm getting my veggies.
Hello Thos. I'll give salsa a try next time. We usually get the Tostitos Restaurant style. but I would like a bit more kick. everyone else is chicken to step it up.

Slice up a habenero and toss it in for some more kick.
 
Natural sunlight on the tank. In the evening, the sun moves across the tank giving everything about 15-20 minutes of natural light!

Will have to say that the Tunze turbelle nano stream 6015 is huge, not going with it. I have a Jebao SOW 4 in my salt mixing bin. May be to much, may have to go with a SW 2

I am 100% in support of this proposed wackiness!

Omg( that’s on my goat for you older goat for you older reefers) that was an obvious jab at Bev with SC’s vinegar based barbecue. Here comes the another NC versus Sc barbecue cat fight! O hope no one gets hurt this time!

My LFS called and the lady that ordered the mandarin goby never came to pick it up and they are going to hold it until Friday for me. Is there a way to make sure it has enough pods to eat other than just dumping a bunch in the tank every so often?

Find out if it's eating prepared or frozen already. Prepared is best, frozen can be oftentimes trained to eat prepared.

If not, pods. Dump pods every week if possible. They eat and hunt all day every day.

She is going to let me know. How does one train a fish to eat something?
