What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have no idea 🤣
Well, I've heard of this neat little fishscooper thingy... I'd use one of those. In fact, it's made by this cool member of the Reef2Reef forum, but most importantly, the Smorg family. I'll try and get you his name sir.

I believe I heard it is also useful for the winter time to move the snow out of the way? I think we might be talking about the samething.
 
Awesome Luis keep us posted when you receive it.
They already delivered it but I'm still working. Later when I get home I'll post pictures of the unboxing 😉

His name is Nakoa and it's Hawaiian for brave one. He's is an abandonment case at the shelter here and he won't be ready for adoption until about October. How skinny he is broke my heart but then how sweet he is stole my heart... He was left for over 10 days in a crate after the evil people that had him before got evicted. I know they are evil for that and because they had cut his ears with scissors and wrapped them around a pencil to make them curl to make him look mean. One of the ladies that works at the shelter is fostering him and said he loves animals including cats and kids.

@Calmwaters
You mentioned 2 breasts but not what size. I guessed at 1.5lbs to not over load it by ratio of ingredients. Not sure which day yet but the kids will not eat spicy so had to try mild.

Poor dude. That's heartbreaking. It's crazy to me that people like those exist in this world. How in the world do they not feel bad? It blows my mind.
 
I don't know why people abandon animals like that.
Because they are evil jerks. I can't really write what I think about low life loosers on here. They are trying to locate them so that they can prosecute them. I hope they find them and bury them under the jail. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I just want to drive down there, break in and bring him home. I hope karma is real!
