Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
In high school, I pulled library science for extra credits, was always delegated to the elementary school library. I can tell you now, every kid from every class checked out 5 books a week. But anyway the librarian played this song over an over when nobody was in the library.


This is good !
 
I put my 4 peps in my sump.
They've eaten everything in there.
I'm adding food to the sump for them.
I should probably do that too
 
Oh! I forgot the mandatory food pic.

One of my favorite things to make is Penne Al Baffo. Simple and pretty cheap, plus yummy. Anyhow I didn’t have ham. I had chicken tenders. And I didn’t have the heavy cream nor the tomato purée. Instead just half n half, and a jar of bertoli tomato basil.

So I sautéed the chopped shallots, seasoned the chicle and sautéed those too. Then made the sauce per normal. Except I added a can of fire roasted maters with chilis. It had a bit of a bite. I think it would be much better with the heavy cream and tomato purée as opposed to the Bertoli.

Tonight we have some thin center cut steaks that I have to try not to over cook (for me).

Looks yummy!
 
Looks yummy!
It was actually pretty good. I still prefer the creaminess of the original and the ham flavor it has. But not bad for a “I don’t have anything that goes together well so let’s see what happens” meal lol.
 
Hullo. Sorry been busy trying to get some art supplies and stuff.

I think I need to ID this stuff in the tank. I’m not sure if it’s dinos or even the same type.
Good afternoon Bev!

Wow. Chicle = Chicken.
And it's already bite sized. 🧐
