Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Between the new pods and the baby hermit hoard, the new scooter blenny should feel like a true southerner with all that food.
Pod and baby hermit crab gumbo?
 
It's Wacky Wednesday today!
Everyone have a great day!
Enjoy your sushi since it is wasabi Wednesday, unless you’re still full from meatball Monday and taco Tuesday!
 
Do you plan to dose the amount recommend? 1 ml per gallon sounds like a lot to me, and from what I'm hearing. I just started dosing phytoplankton yesterday.

I already put the entire bottle of Pods on Kevin's recommendation, he and I have the same tank, and the phytoplankton I put a lid on the tank every 2 or 3 days.
 
You know Kevin, as close as I am to new orleans, someone has probably made that down here before
I made gumbo for the first time a few months ago and documented it on this thread. Delicious but dang, it’s a lot of work.

Make sure you refrigerate the phyto and give al little shake a couple times a day. Unless Dinkin’s customer base has become to large you’ll get a nice hand written Christmas card as well.

Oh man I that I missed it. Yes it sure is a lot of work, especially stirring the roux and all that chopping. I bet it was delicious though
 
That was fun! PD just drew guns at us!

Long story. I'm not the bad guy, we didn't get shot or arrested.
