I meed to learn more about mine. I just use a factory setting.

That's what the last guys said. 😂

I do that, accept the part where I grow the @=%% out of them .
Good evening Shelley! Can't wait to see a picture of that scoly in your tank! 😉


I jumped on to make a post for you, actually.
After our recent talks about the tank equipment, and the unfortunatel incident you went through, I realized I needed to get rid of the subpar set up I had and get another ink bird. It showed up today. Ill let you know how the app feels and how sensitive it is, because im definitely going to test it.

Inkbird temp/controllers are on sale for $25 to $35 right now on Amazon if any of yall need one.
 
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.
Dang, it looked good!
 
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
Ive had it with chicken liver and I actually preferred it that way to be honest with you. Boudin is one of my favorite things in life lol.

Red boudin is made by soaking the sausages in the blood of the pig!

I can't get air to flow into either one of my culture kits I got today from reefs by steel. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
When my stuff wouldn't flow it was because some of the fittings weren't fully seated and were leaking air.
 
goona keeep the deep sand section with the low rocks covered in zoas as a barrier like I have now . Works great.
That's awesome! Like a beautiful sand pit!
 
All right, been up since 4:00 am, I’m out! Good night peeps!

Goodnight Kevin! Welcome back home.
Did you throw something at me when your plane went over my house? I swear someone did.

@code4 That is a gorgeous scoly! However if that is a frag plug that it's on in the picture, it is very tiny. That's ok if that's what you want, just making sure that you factor that into the price.

I would definitely appreciate your thoughts on it. Bought a bi-color angel today. And a very small clown. Looking to maybe go back for a small file fish

I will take many photos of it growing to big for its plug!
