Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
wow luis! quite the list! im going to try your yellow rice tonight btw!
can bubble corals be next to each other? @tbrown ?
If I remember right they can be close to each other but need to be at from other corals I think like 5 inches.
 
Nope, but Makita does.
Yea but I couldnt live with Makita tools :anxious-face-with-sweat: they don't make any of the specialty electrician tools. I loved into when I first started because that's what my stepdad used. Sadly, their selection of tools was vastly under par
 
Thank you I will try that I have never tried to soak it before brewing.
Now I wish it wasn't close to bed time so I could try some too lol
 
I'd drink Maxwell House over Folgers any day. Was my go to for a while.
My wife buys what ever is on sale so it’s always switching.
 
And also, for the record, true coffee snobs only use hand grinders - not electric grinders!
 
What is this close to bed? I am currently on my way to Black Rock Coffee...
It's 8:13 here and 5:30 comes early lol as is i don't go to bed early enough as is on a coffee free night :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

It is 6:15 here, and 4:30 comes almost as early as 5:30...

I will get what's on sale for a lot of stuff but my coffee isn't one of them it's one of the few things I am picky about.

Well, im trying to get to bed before 11pm tonight haha. Been like 3 weeks since I didn't blow past "bed time" by like 2 hours :grinning-face-with-sweat:

I’m not a coffee snob like the rest of you in your ivory towers and I drink my coffee black like my heart.
 
Sadly my Kevin didn't make it.
Please you all, don’t send my family flowers, buy a coral for yourself and name it Kevin II. Sorry Amanda!
 
If you wanna try coffee snobbery coffee, a nice flavor blend is Highland Grog.
