Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Breakfast time for me. I think we're going to hit a bakery for breakfast, maybe go into town to hit some shops (no, we're not taking the wagon), and then maybe run up to the snow.


No cowboy breakfast in the cast iron skillet over fire!?!?!?
 
We normally get croissant, pain au Chocolat and bread with butter or jam. First time my little one taste bacon she was like :star-struck: lol.


Morning All! Sleepy gal is awake and rdy for Remi to do a French pastry/coffee run for me and deliver! I do live at the beach, so it’s not a bad trip!
 
We actually had leftover pizza instead. The kids weren't moving this morning. Bakery tomorrow probably instead. Right now we're in Jerome at a mining museum.

Have a great day.

The only thing better than bacon is bacon wrapped in bacon and washed down with a warm glass of bacon grease :star-struck: !
 
Nothing beats good fresh baked goodies for breakfast! I need pictures of snow please as I have not had any here.
This is a family friendly forum, please refrain from using the 4 letter “s” word above between of and please.

If you're not afraid of a little poke, gently put your fingers under the edge and scoop it out onto your palm.

If memory serves me, I just reached in and picked it up and setting it on a rock.

OK I will do that. As long as it’s not poisonous.

No they are not. Tuxedos spines are a little softer than other. I bump my hand against it all the time when working in my tank. Just do it gently.
