Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I don’t even know what it is, sorry.

It has a flavor cartridge that goes in the top and then each tone you take a sip the flavor goes into the water. I got one for mothers day from my stepson.

It looks great, can you add taco flavor to it?

ROFL no but they do have lots of other yummy sounding flavors like peach mango, watermelon, and the one I'm currently drinking that came with it kiwi berry. They even have some that are cold brew coffee flavors.
 
Another benefit of 6-line jail time is that the pistol can set up shop and when the YWG moves in with the pistol they'll have a hideaway to avoid rhe 6-line.

Worst case, if the 6-line goes down that "last man standing" road, might try swapping out the 6 for a pair of pink streaks!
Agree!
 
Biocube 32 is a bit tight for a Halichoeres. They get 4-5". Pink streaks! Peaceful, super cute, what's not to love!?
My Mel came to me as a juvenile 3 months ago ~ he is huge already and more to go! Love him though. I like the pink streak idea
 
Yep. I couldn't remember what size tank. I'm going to need you and Jennifer to step up and take my place as intern here.
I put my application in at the cafe, but not sure if Joel is taking interns - plus Jo is veteran compared to me.

I’m the ‘unpaid’ intern- lol
 
Wow - beautiful grill and impressive meal! I’ll be over soon for my to-go bag
I’ll leave the lights on for you!
