Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have to put a fail on this one. lettuce goes between the bread and mayo sir.
Interesting. May I ask why? I have my way of making sandwiches as well, curious as to your reasoning and/or approach.
 
Probably a Maggie muffler.
They work OK
Snap a Pic and I'll show you mine when I get home, if I can get to it.
Not sure how to take that last sentence. My mind instantly went somewhere else and I instantly thought... this a cool forum to be a part of! Sharing is caring!

I think we will need Joel to weigh in on this :thinking-face:
like PBnJ, PB on both slices of bread so the jelly doesn't touch the bread.

No you mix the two together and then spread it on the bread that way the jelly doesn't drip out...

I agree with no sogginess but unfortunately the mayo should be on the bread. It encourages me to eat it faster!

No no no... Take a bite of bread, a small handful of peanuts, and a spoonful of marmalade or preserves.

You really should be using almond butter and jam. Or are you some kind of miscreant?
 
Are you able to move it out of the shadow of the rock? It may need higher PAR to regain the splatter.
yes i can. i might have to try that. i moved it to that spot because thats where it seemed to grow the best. but i may have to play around with it

I was leaning toward Neanderthal, but you do have a point!

You may not need to move it much to get it out of the shadow. See how it does in a week or so and adjust accordingly.

    Votes: 10 27.8%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 25.0%
