Funny, my son left the stands door open with a fan running and my dog ate the black worms and my BeneReef. New black worms were delivered today. I’m glad you like them. Try sautéing them with butter and garlic, delicious!

Turbo snails arent bad either!
 
ordered some two little fish new sand for the new tank...
plan to do big back left section deep for wrasses and then just a dusting on the rest of the tank bottom
You have my interest a hundred percent on this. That's what I want to do with my new frag.Tank, I don't want a lot of sand in it.But I do want a deeper area in the back for sleeping wrasse

Might be a silly question but how are you going to keep the sand from spreading out?
 
Heck yeah buddy! Red or regular?
Only made it one way, based on the recipe I have. Going a little on the mild side, no pork or beef liver availible, so it will be the first time using chicken liver. This is the smallest batch I have made so, It may be a hot one
 
@Calmwaters I have been running my air level high on this batch of Tetraselmis chui with 2 air lines, I killed my galbana doing this, so take it as you may but the Chui is tough, not settling in the jug, The pump is turned down some even still.

 
What do the scoly lovers think of this guy? I am thinking of bidding on it. But never bid on anything before.

Love that spectrum! I need to do more research on figuring par with Kelvins. I love the spectrum settings on my my radion
I meed to learn more about mine. I just use a factory setting.
That was the first thing out of my mouth, it’s kinda bronze! Man, could run some serious drugs in it and it looks like it could outrun the government’s drones!
That's what the last guys said. 😂
Well sign me up for team no thanks lol. Ill just keep using my eyes and growing the living @=%% out of corals !
I do that, accept the part where I grow the @=%% out of them .
 
So, how was it Wes?
Honestly, kind of meh. I tried Noodles and Co. 14 years ago. Now I remember why I haven't been there since. It wasn't bad, just not enough flavor (or quantity) for the money.
