Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Alright @00W the hawkfish ate a massive piece of shrimp today.. however since feeding raw shrimp my wrasse hasn't had an appetite. He ate a big piece the other night and since then won't eat anymore.. pellets or raw shrimp.
Well allrighty then that's good 👍
Just mix up your selection, Cam.
Alternate meaty foods, flake etc.
Unlike what most people think, fish don't have to eat every day 🙄.
Well...
Unless your this guy...

So I pulled an Amanda. The boss took me me to a Thai restaurant for lunch today. I had the best Thai meal I ever had. I couldn’t take pictures because I didn’t want him to think I was even weirder than he already does. I’ll definitely go back and get pictures next time.

I'm a computer science student and taking cyber security later this year. I've learned how to program in HTML and Swift. It somewhat makes sense too me..
 
Alright. I did a couple of things with chat GPT and I know how many gallons there is in the can at a certain point. I can make around 20 gallons in around 4 hours is what it seems.. should I try to do 10 gallon changes every other day? Until nitrates come down big time?

Yes you can but keep testing while you are doing it.

Will do. I need to get a HANNA tester. I'm gonna be honest, I'm nearly out of money. Bankrupt.. none in savings..
 
Good morning!

Simply having a tough time keeping up with 10+ pages a day from all you stupendous Smorgers!

To let you all in on one of the happenings of this week. Actually, one of the best not only of this week but of my life: I married the love of my life yesterday. It only took 12 years for her to wrangle me in. I caved. I am weak.

While it became official yesterday, the actual date we will be honoring will be November 5th. We are having a ceremony and little shindig, this day, while on the European cruise we will be gone on from tomorrow until November 16th.

How's that for sharing something personal, @kingranch2003 ? A pic from yesterday will be below this post.
Man, that's a Blessing to read as my first post today! I wish I could celebrate with you, drink in hand.

I hope you two are happy and healthy forever.

The best thing I did was marry my wife. I've never had anyone have my back the way she has. Then we had our two boys. Life is great. I hope that you feel the spark forever.

And if you ever need me to "vouch" for you and say that any new corals you buy were half off. Ive got your back.
 
Good morning and happy Wednesday everyone!

Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. Anne Frank.

Flip on the TV and turn to your favorite news station, and what do you see? Probably a bunch of chaos and evil that is going on in the world. It can be hard for us to think if their is any good left in the world. However, look at how we as a community have come together in light of Miami Reef's passing. Look how we as Smorgasbord are always here to give advice, learn from each other, and have a good time. People all around us still have good hearts, we sometimes just have to seek it out more. Today, let your actions guide you to do good, and not to do evil. Change the lives of those around you, and focus on making meaningful impacts.

This is Haunt. If I had to guess, most of you probably haven't heard of this band. They encompass the sound of the 80's rock/metal while putting a modern twist on it. Songs are catchy, and they usually will put out a new album/ep every year.

Definitely heard of these guys. Great choice, and great message
