What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Love it! Any idea how much shipping would be too Whittier, NC?
To Detroit was $46 for a pretty small piece. I can pretty much promise it won't stay small.
 
Don't think I can do it this growing season, but everybody (smorgs) are going to get a bottle of each of my home grown hot sauce, cant wait to try the Aji Cristal pepper in a sauce compliments of John (@kingranch2003)

Do you by any chance have a not too hot version for wimps like me? Lol
 
ordered the kenya and chalice from TSA, be here the 26, earliest I could get it for a day I am off work, thanks Amanda lol
I want to see that chalice grow. The edges are a crazy contrasting color and should be a stunner as it grows.

I don't over do it with sauce, my scale is 1 to 10, 1 is flavor 10 is heat. I don't like getting burned up before I can taste it. 5 on my scale is a great sauce. I don't grow habanero, but I can make a sauce that you can taste the pepper and its mild. Will keep you covered when its time to make the sauce's
 
Luis did you find an you had to have at the sale today?
Good talks, a couple of zoas, and a beautiful clove polyp from @ReefEngineer Thank goodness I followed @kevgib67 advice and left my credit and debit cards at home lol, Since I arrived I came to my in-laws' house and here we are still working.

@Imrahilwjz I have a mountain of the the styro and box containers that you get with coral, fish, pods and phyto. I could regular mail you some if any is needed
I'm kind of in the same boat. 😁 Thanks though!
 
ooohhh i love hot sauce! when i was like 5, my aunts boyfriend had fun feeding me hot peppers. he was a mexican and liked to see how hot i could eat em😝
bottles I send will be shelf stable, but I do recommend against all other advice, to refrigerate once opened. If you like it, its won't last long anyway
