Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I keep looking at the corals I bought online at different places and they look like they have less color then sbb. Does sbb put filters or something on there corals?
Yes
 
Sorry. SBB uses filters but their colors are usually fairly true.
 
Using filters isn't bad - it's actually a good thing. Altering pictures is bad.
 
@tbrown had a really nice 8 pointer come 15 yards from me broadside today.... I was in the woods hiking with my dog behind the house and didnt have my bow on me. It was slightly smaller then this guy I took a couple years ago which was 200 lbs field dressed. I found his scrape and am tempted to go sit on it.....

All y'all whitetail hunters...
 
No hunting experience lol, any difference
Yeah, most whitetail are cornfed or radish fed. Arizona Mule Deer eat nothing but desert scrub and acorns.
 
Don’t you have mule deer down there Tim?
We have white tails too. Coues whitetail are highly sought after for their racks but they only have about 15-20 pounds of meat if you're lucky.

have never eaten mule deer, strangly enough, hows it taste compared to like elk?
 
Ok, not that anyone wants to hear about my day. I’ve been sick all week and thought I had a sinus infection. Went to the doctor today and tested positive for Covid. I guess this current strain affects the sinuses instead of the lungs, it’s been kicking my ****. My torch that fell before I left for Nashville got reattached and developed bjd. I did an in tank treatment of Cipro, fingers crossed. Otherwise I’m enjoying a three day weekend.

I’m curious as well, I’ve only eaten white tail. Meat Eaters on Netflix makes mule deer seem tasty.
