Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thank you I will try that I have never tried to soak it before brewing.
Yeah, I have been using the chem ex style pour over right now. Pour hot water on the beans in the filter enough to wet them. 30 seconds later run the hot water through. It activates the beans. The distilled water allows higher temperatures and I think ph.
 
Yall are wicked coffee snobs I geuss haha. My coffee maker just has a grinder built in! I used to use a standalone unit to grind but you could probably hear it at the neighbors house haha
Wait, you don’t use a pestle and mortar?
 
I think this girl has the right idea.
Paul, all she does is lay around? The couple we stayed with in Nashville last fall had a mini bernie doodle and it was the most mellow pup I’ve ever met. She was glued our friends side.

You are correct. Does nothing but want to be with you.

I'm trying to figure out how I could do this with a Keurig... I do have a tea kettle as well.
 
Anyone hear familiar with All for reef and dialing in your dosage? From my research it takes like 3 days for it to completely break down and supplement your alk, calcium, etc etc. So today was dose 3, so tomorrow I should start testing alk and watching for a trend?
 
I can't say I even own one, but ironically I did almost break one at mardens a few weeks back
I have a big boy grinder too. I attach a drill to it and grinds everything.

Could you press start then maybe hit stop or something after a couple seconds? I haven't had a keurig since the very first one with a charaffe (I probably spelt that wrong) so I'm not sure how they work nowadays. I think mine is could have hit start then theoretically lifted the top and it would have stopped then I could close and restart?

I'll use the wifes kitchenaid :winking-face-with-tongue: you think the cheese shredder attachment would work? Lol

Do you use the filter basket in the Keurig or pre made ones? If filter, just pour some water on it. If pre made, put it in, close lid, then rake it back out. Syringe of hot water into the top till it starts to drip. Pharmacies have these in 10ml sizes and would be great for that.

Not sure I have never tried it. I could maybe hold the reusable pod that I have over a cup and pour water onto it then put it in and run it.

We were posting kind of the same idea at the same time.
