Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
What's worse is I have three coral shipments that I am having held due to the weather. I don't want to risk it being late. It's been brutally cold here the past several weeks.

If our weather is right the two I placed should be ok for next Tuesday delivery. I had them shipped to my work so they aren't sitting outside until I get home.
 
Did you like it?
I did. Kind of like alligator tail, the same texture. Flavor was kind of hidden in the spices but it was good! If I remember correctly, they served it with a type of rice that was seasoned and had various stuff in it (local dish) and mango.
 
I’m picking up two on the 13th, it’s 15 miles from my office. One of the ones I wanted was gone the next day. I bet it’s on its way to your house. 😢
Probably not, the one I am getting is really small.

If you really want to see the corals that they have before you go, they film all of their corals, and post them on YouTube. You can get an idea of the actual size and color.

So you could harvest more tail later...very conservative of you hahaha!
I wonder if it's illegal in Florida to 'harvest' the iguana? I mean, if they are invasive. I'd cut the tails off, clean it, season it, vacuum seal it and freeze it!

They actually have a bounty on Iguana in Florida.
