Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ok, please stop sending pm’s requesting pictures of my white worm culture. I will have more time once I break down my tank and have more time to spend on my cultures. I was thinking, I try not to do that often because it makes my head hurt, all these worms are eating which means doo doo will be coming out the other end. Eventually it will be full of it and will be detrimental. I’m calling out all of you who were home schooled or went to private school your thoughts on that. Will I just have to keep starting new cultures and throw the poopy cultures out?

I must be doing something wrong. My culture looks nothing like that! Imagine two grains of rice in a 5 gallon bucket of dirt. THAT'S how mine looks....
 
Good morning Mr. Dwayne "The Rock" Keith!
Can you smell what I'm cooking?? 🤣
I hope you enjoyed your vacation with the Mrs. brother
 
Bought a gift for my bubble algae. Due next week. Would like to add some blue porcelains but still out of stock. appears seasonal. I have been eyeing an Anthias but still undecided.

Pitho - 3
Emeralds - 6
also added some chiton, trochus and blue legs.

Can You Smell The Rock GIF by WWE


Still on vacation, just home now. I don't go back to work until Monday. But the weather up there was great!
 
We watched The Gambler with Kenny Rogers, then the next two-part Miniseries. That was a lot of fun! Kinda corny at times, but a good watch.
 
glad I already ate lunch! thats disgusting!
You my friend are a picky eater! My fish and shrimp didn’t think so, they gladly ate it for dinner last night and breakfast today!
 
Good morning Rock! Did you get any fishing done on Vacation?
No sir. We took the boat up to Torch Lake. We did see a lot of skimpy bikinis. As the day went on and the partiers at the sand bar were getting "more happy"... we got to see a lot of bikini tops off. I know that isn't fishing, but it was a lot more fun to watch than a bobber in the water.
 
I would like some of the white worms for my fish. Is there some where I can buy them?
You would need to culture them I believe. I could send you some to start a culture.
