Does anyone know who has the Geisemann Spectra on here? I saw a post a few (ALOT) pages back and I can't find it now or remember who posted it. I think it was Tom???
Wasn't me Keith, I don't have that kind of money, but I do have a vague recollection of seeing a Geisemann some pages back.

I appreciate the response. I will try and find it, I don't even know where to begin though! LOL
 
On this week’s podcast of cooking with Kev, we will be preparing deviled eggs. My daughter has been asking me to make them so I’m going to run over when she gets home from work to surprise her. Stay tuned another podcast will drop later today.

Hi, good luck with your tank. I have a few unknown critters in my reef tank. I'm new also. Can anyone help me Identify what they are, and basic info- pests, bad for corals, toxic? Please see photos:
1) Like a pin worm, I don't think it’s a Bristle worm.
2) Look like small roaches/ ants. Crawl on floor like ants, have a hooked back side.

3) a little pimple that looks like a dirt mound.
4) a slug, snail without shell, hides in rock and comes out sometimes.
5) a small coral pipe with feather coming out.

Thanks for all the help,
Daniel

Just received an email from Joe (Glasscages) about the tank glass. It is 3/4". I just know I was shocked when I first seen it! I was like ... holy *@#! that glass is thick!


Excellent Keith.

For sure. Tank is ¾ bottom and sides.

Have a great weekend.

Regards,
Joe
 
Those look delicious!
If you have some shrimp, cut some up and add a piece on top of the egg. You will thank me later.
My daughter and wife won’t eat any seafood. ☹️ Uh
