Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You know me to well, that would do it. The only thing better than bacon is bacon wrapped in bacon and washed down with a warm glass of bacon grease! :star-struck:
Shoot!
How'd you already know Sunday's special breakfast?
 
Because, you da man!
I used to do garlic rosemary rubbed bacon wrapped rabbit.
Wish I knew you then you would have died on the spot right up your alley. ;)

I did a little small game hunting in high school with friends. I shot a ring neck pheasant. My friend dad, a huge hunter and wild game eater, instructed me to use toothpicks and wrap it in bacon when I baked it. Man, that bird tasted great!

Sounds insanely good!
Bacon is the #1 food group in my opinion.
My daughter bought some turkey bacon for me she's worried about my heart but after I barfed that up I told her the barfing was harder on my heart than regular bacon. ;)

Oh my gosh that really does sound amazing!!!
 
I been going to Saltwater Aquarium website...They are still family owned and on top of it..great customer service
I’ve ordered from them too. But if its an emergency buy and my LFS doesn’t have it - I still order from BRS cause they ship ASAP, always packed right, and I always have reefer rewards for a few bucks off which gets me free shipping. I work the system across all vendors to get best prices. I had a ton of reward points from TSA from all big Black Friday coral orders and I just purchased regular goods from them this week and got $75 off.
 
hmmmm I haven't had a bowl of cereal in a long time....me lucky charms..lol
I just started to lately, because my 16 month old grandson has cheerios snacks and of course he had to share with Nonna; then I went home and was craving cereal - LOL
 
I would really love to try a road runner wrapped in bacon. I still remember the coyote holding up a chart that showed the flavor of each part of the road runner. Maybe @tbrown can get his hands on some. You want to know what still bugs to this day? If the coyote could order and get delivered rocket skates, pendulums, dynamite etc from ACME, why didn’t he just get Kentucky Fried Chicken delivered if he was so hungry?
 
Alright, so I found this stray Tuxedo cat and really don’t know what to do with. No collar and I can’t seem to locate it’s. I think the poor little guy has been on it’s own for a while and eating out of dumpsters because it smells pretty bad.

I'm pretty sure I'd have to black market the Road Runner. Although I could potentially get you some fresh roadkill if I swerve.

I wasn’t sure if everyone was just playing along or not but he was a domestic breed descented skunk that was my kids pet when they were little. I look way to young in that picture!
 
@kevgib67 get him deskunked. They make good pets. Seriously. I have babysat one.
I got him from a domestic breeder as a baby and the procedure had already been performed. They are so sweet and docile. They don’t have a mean bone in their body because they just relied on their spray.
