Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

The couple in front of me at the grocery store just spent $744.58...
Didn't know that was even possible...
It was probably Wes, he has a dozen mouths to feed and that was probably 5 days of food.
 
I was deleting photos came across the one of my wife and kids on my wife’s birthday that I took to post so I’m posting it.

Maybe for the whole month? I spend around that and maybe a little more monthly

Glad you did it! Beautiful family
 
That sounds like my wife. And you two are exactly right. I would've already blasted them with 7 dust if it was left to me lol. I like the natural anti chemical approach that she prefers. Thanks for this Amanda

ok placement questions again. can blastos, acans and favias be close to each other?
Blastos are not generally aggressive and acan maybe they are not either, but I can't say the same about favias, I wouldn't risk it.

Hmmm, same light requirements but I’ve seen long sweepers from my favia and my acan. I would think not but I’m only 99.9% sure. Hopefully someone who is 100% sure will chime in.

Wow that sounds great. How do you serve it, on a plate or as a sandwich?

It depends on how you want it the day you cook it, you can serve it with a little rice or rice and beans, with salad or even with bread and make something similar to a Cuban sandwich.

I would eat it with a fox and in a box, on a train and in the rain and on a boat and with a goat! It doesn’t matter that it is not green eggs and ham!

Thanks so much. I sent that to her. She wants to do this really badly. She'll love this!
