Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
What’s the plan. Toast? Crackers? PBnB?

Try this:

SLOW-COOKER MEATBALLS with BACON JAM

32 ounces bacon jam
24 ounces tomato-based chili sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper
5 pounds frozen cocktail meatballs

Preparation: In a large bowl, add the bacon jam, chili sauce and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Place the meatballs in the slow cooker, then pour the jam mixture on top, stir. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
Man, that sounds good!
 
I don't think it's a good idea, Jill, because what's going to happen is that the anthias are going to take his food away. What you want is that when you throw the frozen food, he either goes to get it or the current carries it to him, but that he eats peacefully.
Good morning Luis.
Also, great advice on feeding the CBB. They are slow feeders, not aggressive eaters like most fish
 
Luis, that controller board is spectacular. I'm looking at them right now and may have to copy your idea. Is that ok with you sir?
No problem buddy, mine is custom made due to the measurements of the space I have and my controllers. Maybe the holes in the same place don't work for you, but if you prefer, I can send you the measurements of mine and you'll see if your controllers fit in the same space 😉

Luis, I know you can view this so you will have to describe it to the person that went to public school!

I sent him a message on IG asking about a quote. I'll need a board with more holes

Man, they are ugly at first! That's awesome that you get to see them grow.
 
A great morning to you Keith!
Are you enjoying the weather now that it actually feels like summer is here for us Northerners?
 
typically made with grape jelly but hey, bacon jam? I mean come on!
My wife makes a kielbasa, sliced up, with grape jelly, sriracha and I can’t remember what else, for outings. It’s been a while but decades ago when she first was making it I thought it sounded disgusting but I was surprised it tasted like slightly sweet barbecue sauce with a little heat.
