Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm sure our day wasn't as frenetic as yours, but we did sell almost all our buns. Some of the kids split the last 3. I have a batch rising in the oven so we can have some.
 
sorry no pictures but I cooked a while pound of bacon yesterday. One kid had a single piece. Had to eat the rest so it didn't go to waste. makes me wonder why they don't make 1/4 pound packages?

I had a BT sandwich today. After I cooked the bacon and sliced the tomatoes I realized we didn’t have any lettuce. I knew if I posted a picture your OCD would kick in and you wouldn’t sleep tonight. So I tried to spare you that.
 
thanks. yes it is super frustrating. no @JoJosReef i dont think it was agression. it was kind of an odd color when i got it and didnt act the greatest. but i was hopeful it was just from shipping. but the coloring just got worse and so did its actions....

You are so kind. But probably shouldn’t have said that!

From where was it shipped? By odd color, was it just duller than normal or did it deviate from copper/silver? Sorry this happened. No need to rehash it over and over if you prefer to let it go and look ahead. The second CBB is doing OK?
 
Gnocchi with a pancetta red sauce and globs of ricotta beneath browned italian blend cheese. Nothing fancy, but eats well!
Nothing fancy? I don't even know how to pronounce more than half of those words lol
 
Hello Peeps. Sorry haven't been around much. wrench my back "again" by just turning right to left. Couldn't really walk for 2 days. steroids this week.

Because a 1/4 pound of bacon just isn't enough.
