Thank you for posting this!
 
My hammers seem kind of mehh the last 2 days. Not retracted but not full extension. They were close to each other so I put one elsewhere to see if maybe they were just getting sick of each other's company? They were touching depending on water flow
not full extension? Have you tried dosing Viagra? Asking for a friend!
 
wow luis! quite the list! im going to try your yellow rice tonight btw!
can bubble corals be next to each other? @tbrown ?
They can be yes, however, if they are from different geographical locations just watch to see if they play nicely.
 
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?
Correct. Keep a log and you will see how much consumption you have and dose accordingly
 
Morning y'all!
It's Wacky for sure....
It's Wednesday....
Be safe out there....

I haven't but I did walk around in front of in in my underwear this morning we'll see how it looks when I get home! All seriousness though I moved it away from my other hammer and it seems to have perked up i think
 
I missed this post yesterday Jill, how did the recipe turn out?
ok. not your fault, but i think i bungled the recipe. it didnt look anything like yours! too many substitutes i think! :rolleyes:

I have changed many ingredients before, I have replaced the ham with pork, with chicken, the important thing is the measurements as if you were going to make white rice and the yellow color for the rice, the other ingredients are more to taste
 
Been busy this morning preparing to move an anemone to my crab tank, wife picked it up from petco. She means well, she is quite knowledgeable with saltwater tanks and fish. we maintain the the tank together. I now have a condylactus anemone in the tank. All I have heard is bad stuff about these.
Had a couple.
Condys move around a lot.
Under the right light they are really pretty but other than that pretty meh.
They don't host anything I don't believe.
 
You doing the Keto diet?
Sort of.
Started only carnivore.
Now I eat about 7 items total and really only eat once a day.
Lots of water.

Correct, they have quite a potent sting that clownfish can't even endure.
