Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Englands are fat steak fries which are great for dipping. I wonder if I should change bubbles and squeak to fish n chips?
Yes! Most Irish pubs around here use the steak fries especially for fish and chips

I love authentic fish and chips, only had them once. Where are you at in PA, I’m right on the border.
 
Believe me, I've thought about it since, like you, Kevin has also told me, I've never been a social media person although I use IG a lot to see news and see ideas on topics that interest me, Although it may not seem like it, I am a rather shy and closed person when it comes to my private life. All the photos I share with you are because of trust and because you are family, but I don't share them with anyone else, haha, but I am thinking about it.
( maybe a just tank Ig )
Sorry, I just wanted to say that your photos all look great.
 
Within the last couple weeks this happened. Contemplating scraping it off

Those little white spiral things are spirobid worms. I've never seen them like that, so I don't know whether you should leave them or scrape them. Usually they are harmless.
 
I like a lot that you listed but on top of the list for me are fresh cut fair fries with salt, ketchup and malt vinegar! Fast food it’s a toss up McDonalds, Arby’s curly and Steak n Shake shoe string.
I hand cut, soak in water then fry in bacon grease.
Pink Himalayan salt.
 
I don't eat a lot of Steak and Shake but they do have good fries. McDonald's has nothing on Wendy's fries if they have the right amount of salt. McDonald's fries are always either cold or burnt or both. They add lots of salt to cover that up.
Supposedly, McDonald's uses only Idaho potatoes, probably why I can't even order them from my purveyor.
Then they gas them in private houses.
Supposedly.
What I heard anyways.
Haven't been to mickey D's in many years....

I haven't been in awhile. IMO it's gross. And, it's not cheap anymore!
 
For you 80’s rockers, one of our employees workin the front desk told me that Benjamin Orr ( RIP), one of the lead singers for the Cars is her uncle! “ Substitution mass confusion clouds inside my head.”
 
Or you could make a road trip down HERE right now, because trout and flounder season are in town!

Be there like yesterday if I could my friend!
 
Well, I’m going to pick up a keg ( Heineken :winking-face: ) on the way home because it’s tradition to throw a toga party when ever my wife is out of town. The size has really diminished over the decades. It mostly be just me with a white sheet on and ivy around my head and the keg next to my recliner while I binge Netflix. I think I will start with AnimalHouse so I feel less lonely.
I'd start with Fast Times at Ridgemont High..

I noticed they are all over my tank, but then also noticed that they have COVERED this hammer base. To the point where i picked it up and it's like multiple layers thick
 
Rockfish, halibut, shark are my favorites.
Only one on this list I've tried is halibut. Wonder how shark tastes :thinking-face:
