Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
we had a really nice and friendly one once. I walked over and picked it right up. brought it inside. seemed like someone's pet. brought it down to the vet to inquire and they said bring it back home and let it go. :face-with-rolling-eyes: the other night I saw some bird tracks but not sure what made these. kids messing with me? they seem pretty big.

Wrapped in bacon, soaked in Italian dressing.
I actually do wrap them in bacon since they tend to be dry. However, next hunting season I'll do the Italian dressing soak!

I’ve never hunted doves but in high school I was small game hunting and kicked up and shot a ring neck pheasant. My friends father told me to use toothpicks and wrap it in bacon and bake it. Best tasting wild game I ever had!
 
Single. I'm running Nanno right now, looking at adding 3 more varieties and 3 Pods plus rotifers soon.

Starting with mixed strains can cause early crashes from my understanding.
I'm just working on the phyto right now, I have 2 jugs ready, need to get another since I have room for it. Guess I will get a green and brown culture to start off. Will order later this week, have some plans coming up.

Making some threads about the phyto, its giveaway fodder
 
All summer long was for you @Rocks reef !
I appreciate you thinking of me being up here in Michigan experiencing the same bipolar mother nature as you. On a positive note, I get my boat out of storage at the end of the month and can start prepping her for the water!!! Beer, Babes (my wife) and Boats... nothing better!
 
Yea i have been hearing the same. I have a $100 gift card, that's the knky reason I'm looking at their website. They have like zero dry goods that I'm interested in(in stock).
"that's the knky reason I'm looking at their website"... I read that as kinky... I think they have a support group for that brother! :face-with-tears-of-joy: :zany-face:
