Morning Tom !

probably use the loose rock islands that don't have coral on them, but move them closer to large piece on my left side of the tank. still trying to figure out what would be best.

That's the route I went. It gives you the chance to keep them all separate and still have the big zoa garden look, but you can pull them out individually if needed.

All I know is that in my tank if I keep my magnesium at 1400 or higher, my euphyllia are never more happy, club high magnesium here.

Doesn’t Turkish have those monkeys that eat the beans and then they use those beans to make there coffee ?

No, Turkish coffee does not use this type of bean. While there is "Monkey Coffee", I have never had or seen it. However, there is a much more readily available coffee called Kopi Luwak. The beans are eaten by civets. Where it originally came from the word kopi means coffee and Luwak is what they call the civet. Although, I think in recent times, they now make it from caged civets. It is very expensive and I have never had this one either.

Do you have an "old world" or an automatic maker?

Some of the best coffee I've ever had was while in Turkey but I have also had some of the best in Italy too. It's very difficult to compare them because of the divergence between them.

I have a Keurig for most of my "normal" coffee, but I also have multiple other "fancy" coffee makers.

Turkish coffee pot (cezve)
Chemex
French Press
Moka Pot

I think there's more but I don't remember off hand.

No more black sponge on this side of the rock . Maybe the flower anemone might go back to we’re it was chased out of .

While some may think that my curmudgeonly mind is not open to new things and ideas, my wife recently picked this coffee for me. She knows that I dig manatees. Plus, in another thread, I sometimes sign off with, “Manatee.”

Anyways, my friend Tim @tbrown, will be proud that I gave it a go. Another friend, Lowell @Lowell Lemon , will be sadly disappointed.

It pains me to say so but the Manatee coffee is delicious. It really has a great coffee taste with the slight notes of the other flavors. I may be ruined for life.

This is about what I expected this morning lol

Scoly secured and added to tank. I did do a very light dip as I hear they can be very sensitive to dips. I also did glue a rock below the skeleton and dug the rock in the sand so it has space as well. Looks very good and will post pictures hopefully later today. It did seem not to like the dip even though I think I only did a 1/4 of the amount at only 3-4 minutes.

Good morning, all!





Oh, c'mon Kevin, even I know that you know a smidge more than about magnesium. Give yourself a little more credit.


For the money, I do not think you're going to find a better one than the Bambino.

Good morning Chris!
