00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Nor'easter Reefer]

I also thought about buying some RO/DI consumables but they don't have those either :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Oh wow! Joel, you HAVE to let me know how this goes! My aiptasia went after what is essentially the corner stone of my aquascape, so I can't remove the rock. I'm so happy to see all of the good stuff made it!

I will.
I did 3 more rocks this afternoon, same process.
It worked.
No more aiptasia.
I'm just waiting to see how much bacteria might be gone.
I think I'm OK.
Fish seem fine, everything else is fine.
I've lost a bit of gsp, xenia but it grows other places too.

I mean, currently my filtration skimming is set. I think I have too much flow but I have it cranked for cyano control(although that isn't seemingly to help..) and my freezers full of frozen food and i currently have 3 different kinds of pellets and I have benereefs powdered coral foods. Thought about some LPS pellets? But besides that I'm not sure lol

I like a bunch of different things. If it was me, I'd look at upgrading my flow situation if needed, look at a backup return pump, look at my food situation - I use a lot of pellets and flakes so I stock up when I start running low.

If you have a Hydros and want a leak rope, you can build one for twice the price...

For a 90? I'd say probably.

Yeah so I picked the 90 blue plus and I have to primes. That should be enough light?

 

[00W]

Good God man! You can't just casually act like that isn't amazing! Bro....

Is this what Kevin of the south looks like? :smiling-face:

If you come and frag it you get half, I'm scared and I don't know how to do it either hahaha

But that’s why I wanted you to drag it idk what I’m doing

Are you implying that the hydros leak rope is a steal?

 

[Kingsley_Reef]

More flounder filets marinating. I better come up with another fish soon.

What’s the marinade? My wife soaks ours in milk she said it takes away the fishyness idk still taste like fish to me hahaha

I'll frag it, but that's a long walk, so someone bring it to me lol

Which primes? 32s or 16s?

The leak rope kit is $39 for a 3.5mm and a 9' leak rope. To build it, you'd need one 3.5mm adapter cable and two 4' leak rope extensions plus the U-clips for a grand total of $72.

Almost twice the price.

That's pretty neat! But also, my wife would kill me if I was still saying things like "you know what i should get for my tank" and "oh I want to get one of these!" While also saying "i bought a jellyfish tank!" :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Someone I know, a guy named Luis, he buys the things and tells his wife that they cost between $20 and $50, that's the range or else he won them in a raffle ;)

I have 2- 16HDs and then I’ll have the or4

That works until you "win" so much stuff that she notices the hundreds of dollars you spent*ahem* won on corals :face-with-tears-of-joy:

32 and 64 are hydras
16 are AI primes

Unfortunately I'd have to buy another unit or some long cords to utilize it where I'd like... hmmm maybe some screen tops? Luckily I got plenty of time to decide :D

Yeah, I think they're out of screen tops.

I just coat it with a little yellow or Dijon mustard, hot sauce and a little minced garlic, or you can use garlic powder. Add salt and black pepper at the end. I also squeeze in a little lemon juice at the very end, right before I fry them or bake them. Let it sit while you prep everything else. The flavor goes into the meat really well. You can also use a 1/2 tsp-1 tsp of lemon zest, or omit it altogether. Then I batter it with seasoned cornmeal/flour mix and deep fry. (I'm from Mississippi I can't help it). You can also pan fry it in butter or avocado oil. It'll still at least lightly taste like fish lol

That's amazing! I know a woman I think her names Amanda that tells her husband the same thing...
