Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Mrs B-
If you are really having a problem with bristleworms, take a small water bottle and put a piece of raw shrimp or the like in it and sink it to the bottom just before lights out.
Sometime before lights on go check the bottle.
There should be a worm or 10 in that bottle.
Take it out and say bye bye to those worms.
This worked well for me before I got Moe.
Now, I haven't seen a worm of any kind for many years.
I haven't seen a snail, shrimp or bit of spare food either lol.
I have to get up before the light come on . That won’t work . 🤣 I’ve try it before and most got out before I got to it . Plus they would multiply before the next night . I appreciate your concern but I wouldn't mind trying a CBB . I’ve had them in the past before I had a bristleworm issue .
 
No no no... Rednecks refer to violins as "fiddles". If there's a banjo there has to be a fiddle in the band.


No sir! Just like the coris wrasse thing, that is a misunderstanding. The differences between a fiddle and violin are style of play an genre. You USE a violin to play fiddle.

You think a wrasse need is scary. Tick off a redneck.
 
Wow I did not know this! That's awesome
Works great John!
Just gotta monitor when dark is all.
I've forgotten before and they were still there with the light on,just not as many.
 
Evening everybody !! I've been busy got a new Icecap 10g cube "with that 100 bucks i won on R2R" to switch over my other IM 20gallon so i can set up a second Reef tank :) First IM 20 i set up i used sand . Anyone not use sand ? what do you use and if nothing what do you put between your rock and the glass ? now i get to go back and read about what everyone's been eating the last few days :)

A fiddle is just a violin that doesn't have a pedigree.

Ive never seen a bristle worm in my tank, but Ill never forget this when they show up
 
We were inspired by @LadyMac ’s suggestion and went with pasta. Spicy chicken sausage penne with a creamy mushroom sauce and garlic butter yeast rolls. Pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!
