Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
just ordered 20 emeralds to help with the bubble algae. local LFS had none. they only have a tank full of Pithos right now.

edit. I figure 1 Emerald per 5 lbs of rock?
I prefer Pithos to Emeralds but I've had good luck with both.
 
Oh jeez, you’re making me open the can of worms again! I don’t like or eat cookies, there I said it, bring on the ridicule, jokes at my expense and hateful comments!

I’ll explain tomorrow when the jar and I show up at your front door tomorrow! 😉
 
Good morning Peeps! I hope you'all slept well.
Yesterday I found Rice Krispies, my murderous serial killing pistol shrimp dead in his aquarium. I think he was around 4 years old. He had to be moved out of the display because he was eating his goby friends rather than simbiotically dwelling in harmony with them. In spite of his Hannibal Lector tendencies I liked him and he will be missed. 😞
That's why this guy's in s room by himself. There used to be some snails in there. Not sure how they got there, but haven't seen any for awhile

See now if you would have put cookies in the jar , Amanda wouldn’t think that your a weirdo .
 
Those all look like chalky cookies from the Chinese buffet, that no one eats lol
No not at all . They are some of the nicest cookies around . That probable why Kevin doesn’t like them because he’s only had chalky Chinese stuff .
 
Went well but she said I was terminal and she only gave me 25-30 years left. I’m starting my bucket list. On the top is visiting you with a pickle jar in hand!

Wow 😮! , what do you feed him ?
Half pound of hamburger 🍔
 
Let me know because I have a full bottle of it and someone told me it’s like an Algicide so I never put it in .
Will do.

It's not an algicide because is doesn't directly kill algae. Rather it is multplie bacterial strains that can out compete nuisance algae for surface space, and dislodge, detritus, mulm, etc, to then be filtered out of you water. It can also help supply food for your corals. I hope to use it in tandem with reef snow in order to clean the of cyano AND feed the corals

Nah he'd still be a weirdo but he's our weirdo and we are keeping him.
