Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thanks Jill. Ive been trying to figure out who Anna K was, and what this awful event was for like a week. I've just been to embarrassed to ask lol
Maybe you were on vacation or something but she came here to Smorgasbord maybe a month back and spent a few days here, she still comes here but I think she has her tank thread and is quite active from what I can see. But what happened to her tank I don't know.
 
solves the next question they were about to ask. chicken.
This was her third indication of an "intruder" so this time it made me get up and go see

 
Come to think of it, I think her recipe calls for some Coke ( the beverage Keith!) also. I’ll have to check with her. That was a recipe I found that I thought was close to hers. She never used ketchup ( that’s for sissies) only chili sauce.
What are you trying to say sir? My excessive energy is au naturale!

If you go the PBnBJ route, I'd suggest chunky PB and sourdough bread to maintain its authenticity.
Good call sir. Pickle on the side?
 
venomous*

Poisonous is if you eat it, venomous if it bites you 😂
I've just started getting those two correct
Venomous is edible, poisonous is not recommended...
 
The use domestic pigeons and probably genetically engineer them. Probably similar to a wild turkey and the turkey cooked at Thanksgiving with the huge white breast ( no giggling Keith) that prevents them from flying even short distances like their wild counterparts.
You've definitely figured out my inner child sir... LOL!!
I did giggle by the way!
 
This was her third indication of an "intruder" so this time it made me get up and go see

yeah, those are not viewable to me. I think it all since I use an apple platform.
 
0 in precipitation, 15% humidity, 97°, feels like 100°, UV Extreme, Extreme Heat Warning in effect until 8 PM....
So a normal day. Good to hear that sir. Consistency is key
 
So I didn't have as interesting a night as @Anna K did but I awoke at around 2am to a loud noise. No idea what it was. My wife said it sounded like it came from the tank. I muttered something about 'I sure hope not', expecting to find coral and fish and water all over the floor. I went and looked at the tank and the Foxface was sitting in the corner in its 'death-mask' pose and breathing heavily but the tank was intact so I started looking around for other possible causes. Before I got two feet away a huge splash and water spraying out the top of the tank. Apparently a sea monster was terrifying the Foxface, most likely either the Possum Wrasse or the Hectors as they were the only ones out and about. I'm still assessing the damages but one of the torches is missing a head and the birdsnest was upside down in the plum hammer. You've got to love Foxfaces.
At least it wasn't anything too terrible!
 
It's a Christmas tree funnel. I use it when I add pods
I was kidding sir. But, that makes sense. I'm assuming to add water to a tree so it doesn't dry out?
 
Besides my tank going upside down last week and this week, I fought off a copperhead last night 🥲
Cut it up into bite size pieces with a shovel!
