You can have coffee, just had to be black. JoJo's favorite!
 
I’m not going to use the “s” word on this family friendly forum especially since Rev has me on double secret probation. But dang, really? It’s not like I live in Maine or Albany NY. Enough already. Um sorry, have a good day Smorgasbord nerds.

The other day I went to an lfs that I stopped going to for a while and they had a cbb that ate pellets, I felt like taking it with me since I lost the royal pencil, but I don't know if it will do well in my tank, none of my fish fight but they are very aggressive when it comes to eating lol, in a few seconds there is no food left
I want one so bad

At least you can have bird feeders. They tell to remove them now due to bears!
 
I think also @JoJosReef is using it for refugium.
Correct @Remi @WalkerLovesTheOcean @luis angel I used Life Source mixed with sand (mostly sand, about 5% life source) for the refugium. I also broadcast diluted life source into the tank every now and then. I prefer the Walt Smith Fiji Mud, but you can barely find that anymore. Just note that with Life Source, you should mix it in a contianer and place a very strong magnet next to the container to pull out all of the magnetic particles (volcanoc basalt). It is not going to be good for your magnetic pumps and such.

Also note, I think it contains a fair amount of bristleworm eggs. Who knows what else. Should be true for any live mud, though.
