Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Not me, but I bought mine already eating. When he arrived at my tank, he didn't want to eat, so what I did was put the food for the other fish on the opposite side of the tank from where he was, and I put the food near him with a pipette. On the second or third day, he started eating, and after a week, he was eating with the other fish.
I think you have their Nori feeder. Is it crazy big? I have the IM feeder but it pops open.
 
Not really. We started feeding them omnivore food. Put a bowl of fruit or salad next to a bowl of chicken or turkey and see what happens. 😁
Lol If I put a bowl of candy next to a bowl of fruit, my kids wouldn't pick the fruit either. That says more about what they enjoy more than it does about what's beneficial for them.

The same could be said for humans. I dont think wild dogs are able to cultivate, harvest, and prepare vegetables. Most animals have learned to eat what was available to them and what they could obtain. The whole purpose of eating is to obtain nutrients, and while there may be a preference, nutrition is nutrition. Ive never seen a pack of wild stray dogs and said, man I wish my puppies at home looked like that.

You got yours locally if I’m correct?

Humans dont operate on instinct? I dont know if Ive ever heard a statement I agree with less. What do we operate on then?
 
I think you have their Nori feeder. Is it crazy big? I have the IM feeder but it pops open.
I have one, but it's not specifically for CBB; it's more for keeping the nori inside and preventing it from floating all over the tank. The advantage is that you can still put frozen food in it, and as it melts, it comes out.

Drop a nipple in front of an infant and tell me what (besides the nipple) the baby operates on.

By that logic, mother's also have no instincts? A mother's instincts are amongst the most powerful things in this world if you ever been Blessed enough to witness it.

Ok, I'm sorry!
