Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
The yellow tang should be able to live its whole life in the 90 gallon right?
I think @00W has had his in the 90 for 8 years.

Eventually the hippo blue might need to get rehoused but that is years from now.
Should be able to keep him in there a long long time.
I forgot to mention brine shrimp.
A fatty food that isn't the best thing for them but a good little treat that all fish eat.
 
Wow this thread is gaining pages in minutes. I started to read it and could hardly keep up with all the postings. Nice to see Sandpoint represented! One of my favorite ski mountains in the Northwest until you had to sell a kidney just to get a day's lift ticket! Bet your breakfasts are the best!

Is Petco your only go to for livestock or do you have a couple of stores you like as well? I live down in Clarkston, WA so you are not next door but not to far for a day trip.
 
When my first born arrived in 1990 I was thinning already and got a perm and mullet going just to say good by to great hair! Had the 70's-80's middle part going on until later in life. Now I am working on a comb over hahaha!

Very kind thanks. :)
I am not a skier never have been but I've heard you need a second mortgage to ski up there.
I'm also deathly afraid of heights so I pass out going up there.
Yes petco is it but this one really is nice and well managed. Everything I have is from there . Never had an issue and I do not quarantine.
There is one in CDA but I've not heard good things. Maybe it is better now. Hopefully.
A day trip to an LFS would be like a vacation . ;):cool:
Great to see you on the thread.
 
Just have to ask if you serve Huckleberry pancakes or waffles? Do you even like Huckleberrys?
Huckleberries are expensive and hard to find up here but when I do them it's bonkers. Everyone goes nuts.
We just stick to blueberries. :)
Besides huckleberries are so bitter what's the rage?
 
OK will have to see a picture to prove it.
Well I’m at work, off tomorrow, if I remember I’ll see what I can dig up.

Yeah buddy.
Remember the rat tail ( if that is what it was called) ? Made the mullet look sophisticated.

This guy won 19th best mullet in America.
What?????
There's a contest for that????
What'd I miss?
 
Never really had a bitter flavor to me. I guess it is like Morels kind of a Northwest thing. Love Morels in eggs by the way or just sautéed in butter....yum!

I worked in the woods a few summers here and there and we picked Huckleberrys on breaks and ate them both in Idaho and Alaska! Just had waffles with Huckleberry jam this morning for breakfast. When fresh they are tart to me but a little sugar cures that! Love the local jams, jellies, and candy. Maybe it is an acquired taste.

One of our longest running customers is 93, still drives to cda every day.
He has a Huckleberry business which we buy syrup from, jam on occasion for a Sunday special.
His syrup is fantastic and makes an awesome mimosa!
