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

Kevin I'm very disappointed that you didn't get pictures of your lunch just because your new boss was there. Apparently you do not have your priorities straight... first its is then its trying to impress your new boss...
Yeah Kev get it straight!
 
I’m thinking of trying one in my 33 AIO instead of a skimmer. Just not sure which to get. I like the HOG ones but my back glass is blacked out and not sure I could get to it to cut out a square for it so looking at the small drop ins. I won’t need it for a bit as I’m just now getting it started up. I do tend to feed a little heavy but was thinking the .6 should do the trick.
Welcome to the Smorgasbord @offthehook
 
Jawfish did not like this frag. would drag it all over the tank. now someone else is doing it. no matter where I place it, it gets tossed. I suspect the Dotty! is there something about radioactive zoas fish don't like?

Like Kevin, they probably prefer radioactive spiders.
 
There are four primate breeding facilities in Florida, located in Hendry County, which house over 10,000 monkeys!

I googled it, I do not have that kind of knowledge at the top of my head. I'm not a smart man, however, my wife often refers to me as a smart a... well, you get the point.

What's in your coffee cup this morning my friend?
I had some Traverse City Cherry this morning. It is quite delicious as you can taste the cherry in it. Traverse City (in Michigan) has a huge Cherry Festival each year. The small, family operated coffee company up there puts out some tasty products. They have a chocolate covered cherry, cherry jubilee and even one with wild blueberry. The blueberry one sells out quick so you have to watch the website to grab some.

I haven't made a cup yet. Work from home day means wake up, stumble downstairs in my jammies, sit through my morning meeting with the crew, then make a cup while catching up on you lot.

I've got a mixed bag of K Cups to choose from.

McCafe Strawberries and Creme
Cookies and Caramel
Black Rifle FF
Members Mark Butter Toffee
IHOP Buttery Syrup
French Vanilla
Peets Caramel Brulee
Donut Shop Snickers
Founding Fathers Mocha....

I don't think I've had one of the Caramel Brulee yet so maybe I'll try that feller out this morning.

We bought my daughter a torch kit and ramekins for making Brulee. She hasn't made me one yet... Maybe I'll tell her she needs to for breakfast or lunch?
 
Good morning Kevin. I'm not sure how to respond to that post. I'm thinking punctuation may be of benefit in the last sentence. I mean it is nice and if that's your thing... you do you Boo!
I guess he was a bit excited for this new coffee maker. I'm leaving it there.

Tell her she needs to get to making you one, haha. @revhtree has a little mini torch he uses for steaks, but one time he busted out the big guns. I kid you not, it looks like a mini flamethrower, has a propane tank, and everything. He got it to torch more meat at once.
