@kevgib67 Kevin I'm sorry man. Your scampi looks TERRIFIC, not terrible. Autocorrect changed it. Even if it looked terrible, I wouldn't say that to you. I'd tear that up if given the opportunity.

I took it as sarcasm and that you meant it the other way! Now I’m wondering if you’re last statement was sarcasm and you meant it the other way! :thinking-face:

If you chang your mind lmk, Walker. I split up the culture Wes gave me, and plan on having multiples eventually. I'm learning that anything around 68 to70 degrees should work just fine, which is usually the inside temp of our houses. And as little space as they take up, you can do it under your aquarium stand.

Thanks John! I'll let you know!

Nice! I was considering starting a culture. But then I stopped because I read that you'd have to buy a wine cooler and keep it cool.

Did you know that you can feed SW fish earthworms? That's what im going to do! And, it'll make my neighbors think I'm even crazier!

We're doing red wrigglers (basically miniature earthworms).

So for a while now, I've really wanted to raise white worms for my fish, corals, and fun! Enter my buddy Wes! He sent me a huge healthy culture that was loaded with worms and eggs! I've fed some to my tank and my wife's. EVERYTHING loves them. This is going to give me a free, renewable, low waste food for as long as I keep the culture going. Thanks for the culture @Imrahilwjz . They had a safe journey from Oregon to Mississippi.

I want to do that!
I'll pay you for a starter culture John!
Or @Imrahilwjz (Wes), I'll buy a starter kit from you!!

This has gotten me thinking about it as well!

 

[Rocks reef]

That looks like Johns worm culture! LOL!!
Sorry Kev. It looks delicious!!

We could split a starter pack. I'm not that far from you

Let me know, I’ll have to do some research first but my few years on here it seems very beneficial.

Kick up your feet, let some cook up your protein and someone else serve you. Right around the corner is a very good seafood place. All the seafood is fresh not frozen, from the ocean to your plate! ;) I hope you like bar food.

Will do!

My anemones did very well despite high nitrates and p04 so no matter what I will be getting one I guess... I really want frogspawn or a hammer but based of the condition of nitrates I most likely won't be able to do any for a while. I love euphyllia

What’s your nitrate and phosphate and how long has your tank been up?

Unsure what they at. Doing nitrates test at LFS today though. Been up 5 years now

FWIW ( that is for what it’s worth for you older reefers) I have a few and my phosphate is.25 and nitrates 25 for as long as I remember. Post yours when you get home.
