Good morning peeps!

Morning! Too early for me today - does it count to say morning if I’m still cozy in the bed!

No Way! How you know about Sandy? I read his book as a little kid! Born and raised in Southern California.

I have a vintage Tommy Lasorda era Dodger jacket from 1984.

Am I the only West Coaster here?

No Tim, Arizona doesn’t count- lol

Hello all, tailspots are going out in synch. The territorial fight begins unfortunately.

Not to actually bring up reef-keeping, but have a question for you old-timers.

My tank is considered small (75 DT), and I only have 4 fish currently (2 clowns, goby, wrasse); with two tangs arriving this month.

I’m trying to streamline the feeding process as my house space is very small.

Is it silly to spend money on fresh reef nutrition brand foods and go ahead and premix and freeze in small cubes for convenience or for nutritional effacy, which is the whole point of fresh, just mix daily in a cup to broadcast feed?

Morning is acceptable no matter where you are and at any time of day. You can say morning when you sign off tonight!

That tank is HUGE!!! lol

YES!! I totally agree! It’s huge for me! But in this hobby it’s considered small / at least by the boys club

I’m running a 32g, you must consider it a pico tank!

Not part of boys club just part of the club.

I wouldn't mix Reef Nutrition cubes. If you wanted that for ease, just mix up which cube you feed each time? Most people that make their own frozen use fresh seafood typically and make it in batches. You spend about the same amount for 10x or more feed.

I love your tank! It’s perfect size to have by the couch next to you,

I use frozen mysis. I defrost the bag, rinse it in ro water and then spread it thin in a freezer bag and freeze it. Then break into small piece to use. I also feed small pellets with an auto feeder for their lunch. I also put in nori sheets everyday for the 6 tangs.

I only have 3 fish in my 75.
Not getting any more.
Good plan on the food I do the same.
