Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No. I'm here until tomorrow. Finished my classes about 15 minutes ago. (They go until 4 but I stopped going).
You should take in a show before you go . We always book out our time with shows and then hit restaurants . Also the machines and black jack table if we have the time .
 
That’s got to have a reefer working there . The average employee wouldn’t have the knowledge to accomplish that .
You'd be surprised (or maybe not). Most that have saltwater tanks out here hire very few people with any expensive.
 
Well just take a long

play dirty too. For a long time thee was the discount section of the old Filenes sore. Markdowns , things like as much as 90% off. It was basically grab it’s yours down there. Old ladies using all the nasty tricks to get what wanted.
And it's usually the nice little old ladies that steal tickets and coin purses at the casino. Im serious lol
 
We're sitting in the room watching Forensic Files. Getting ready to go to the Pinball Hall of Fame.

Bingo tonight maybe.
The pinball hall of fame sounds awesome! Send us a Pic if they have the KISS or Metallica machine?

Yeah. its a curly haired young guy with multiple facial piercings that talks like Troy Landry off swamp people. He seems very knowledgeable in salt water. Today when i came in for some turbo snails. He was there doing some shelf stocking. I asked him if he had any turbo's. he said he have two very small ones, he also stated that a shipment was expected today but it did not come in. He is the guy for saltwater in Columbus GA Petco

Put it on my dinner tonight. Great flavor with not a lot of zip. Wish you had sent a bigger bottle. I see how it is now, though, as you’ll hook us and then charge big coin for new orders. When I do order, I’ll request the “little extra zip” sauce.

Thank you, so much, Jimmy!

note to self: need bigger bottles, i grow way more than i can use. I still have some sliced and pickled from last year. I just like to share, glad you liked it, its not the best I can do as far as flavor. My peppers had very little heat this year. i need to save seeds from pepers that suit my needs
 
@ShakeyGizzard Jimmy, I got a plant for you to try! I can send you some seeds, but I bet you have your own.


I have used scraps from cleaning fish as fertilizer in my garden like native Americans did, but timing is the issue as far as planting and fishing

Oh yeah, my Dad always put our fish heads in his gardens. That man could grow the best tomatoes!
