Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Heading to the mart of pets to buy baldy(River) a sweater.

Pray for me lol. I’ll have to look at fish.
Pretend you are going to the casino, only bring the amount of money you are willing to lose. ;)
 
Going to do a water change today, Fridays are usually water change days but I was out of salt. Luckily my lfs was still having a sale, $69. Wow, have salt prices gone up. For the same box of Fritz RPM , Amazon has it for $90! I got into this hobby because I thought it was going to be cheap! :thinking-face:
It is never cheap. That is what leads to the mistake of trying to make it a business. You know buying all the toys at wholesale and trying to make a buck to support your habit. 20 plus years later you finally discovered that it was all a mistake financially.....but wow what a fun ride!
 
I have two in my 32 gallon but I’m going to let you do the math, I never told anyone but I went to public school. Better yet, ask the vendor.
Yeah, I only bought 2. One went in the 32 and one in the big tank. Never saw the one again in my big tank but the 32 I have 30 or 40 lbs of rock and feel 3-4 would be best. Waiting till I find more things to buy to pay the shipping fee and make it worthwhile. Pitho crabs live under the sand.

Hot turkey, Lacey Swiss and gravy.
That looks delicious! I’m still waiting on pictures of your lobster meals. I made the wife and I Western omelets but substituted sausage for the ham. In the picture it doesn’t have the cheese or the chives on it yet. Joel, do you need help in your restaurant in the mornings? I could prep the Youngstown grilled chicken and

steak salad after breakfast and before I leave.
