What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
@luis angel it's a double trouble capacitor. Dual start, compressor and cinder fan:

He's on his way to buy a replacement and I'll head that way to install it here after I get my daughter dropped off.
no mice? 🥺 That was my downfall.
 
@luis angel After seeing your cooking last night and thinking you had mango in there it sounded really good to me. And yes it was. Even made bite size 😏

I have made it with potatoes, raisins, olives, peppers, but never with mango, it is already in my list to make it in the near future.

I only did mild seasoning. (picante sauce) but I think the mango you can really jack up the spice level. Might try Amandas recipe tomorrow. I need to get working back on the boat. so it would be good to let it cook all day so I can do some epoxy stuff.
 
It was delivered by 9 Wednesday, but since I haven't heard anything from the recipient, I'm guessing he doesn't want to help pay for shipping on a dead coral.
Just heard. Recipient said the Kenya tree is looking "beautiful." I shipped a small one tucked into a corner of styrofoam. I know it'll get big
 
I got some.gonis in today. I ordered them a couple weeks ago. They look pretty good. I hope I dont kill them.

I’m in a very small minority, I’m not a goni guy but those look awesome not to mention happy and healthy!
 
Those are beautiful John! Some of them already have "tentacles" out, and all of them have polyps out! That's excellent news! You are going to do awesome. If you ever have questions, we are here for you! I'm still praying for you, your mom and your family John. I'm very sorry that you're going through this right now.
Thanks Walker, it's good to hear from you buddy.
Im definitely going to be checking in with you guys about the gonis. They came in really small, but they have nice bright colors and were cheap lol.

I have a set a gonis. (and Keith giggles), Kev said he's not a Goni guy (Keith giggles again). but this is my set (Keith is still giggling). I still have them on a single magnet on the glass. I'd like to put them on a rock but not sure where.
