Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Currently 76 in my house. Outside, not so much. We're actually having a cold front or something this weekend. We dropped almost 10-12 degrees from yesterday and Monday. Supposed to stay down until next Monday when we hit the 110+ again.
I was totally kidding about the sweatshirt. I won't wear one until its in the 50s. Not sure how a cold front is considered 90 degrees... but, I'm glad it's cooler for you for a couple days.
 
Are you making anything with it or just going to enjoy the salty deliciousness by itself?
I got a couple more tomatoes from the garden, remember the revolutionary sandwich I made the club ( not to be confused with the anti theft, steering wheel locking device from the 80’s)? That! I made it but can’t have anything by mouth until my CT so it’s waiting for me when I get home.
 
"Natures" candy. Love this chart my friend sent me. We nerfed them.

Welcome to the Smorgasbord! Feel free to introduce yourself and enlighten us with your pork knowledge! 😉

I'm named Chris and live in the United States. I love fruit and drink way too much coffee (moka pot is my life). I love birdwatching, hiking, photographing wildlife, reading, and language learning. I spoke only Korean until I was 5 when my mother stopped speaking to me in Korean for school to make me pick up English. I forgot all my Korean but I can still read and understand at least 15% of what I hear. I am an upper-beginner to lower intermediate level in Spanish and am self-studying the language at home and school. I am a beginner in German (near A1) and Mandarin (HSK-1). I had a 1-month unit in my history class about how domestication worked and changed human history. Cool class because he let us watch a lot of documentaries. I kinda like turkey bacon more than normal (my unpopular opinion).

I've got a MokaPot I need to wash and try out...

And there's no such thing as too much coffee.

good luck with that.

Ok, next question: are you in high school?

100% agree. I have a 6-cup moka and drink at least 4 pots a day. One in the morning, before lunch, during lunch, and another I sip on while I read in the afternoon.
