What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I think we both did, actually! @Calmwaters, yours is from Papua New Guinea? That's the one I'm having this morning! Even Riv is interested... 🤣

Yes that is the one I tried it was yummy. He looks like a future coffee enthusiast to me!

If he's anything like me, he surely will be! My grandparents were giving me coffee in my bottles as a toddler😆. Decaf, of course. LOL

My brother got me drinking coffee when I was maybe 7 or 8. He made it for me with sugar and milk and that's how I still drink it most of the time today.
 
I have a slight distance buffer when it comes to hurricanes, I feel for the folks on the coast, Opel and Michael did damage here also.
Morning Jimmy !

Childhood memories are some of the best!
 
I'm with you on this Luis.

Every Monday and Thursday morning, I will put some new saltwater (not from the tank) in a small container, then I add 1/2 tsp calcium carbonate (DIY coral snow), 8ml Coral Nutrition AB+, 1/2 tsp Reef Roids, capful of Macrobacter 7, two drops ZeoBak, and a small piece of Rod's original frozen food. I put the top on the container, shake it up and let it sit until I get home from work. I like to allow the bacteria to "wake up" and start consuming the foods. Corals uptake bacteria WAY more than particulates. After work, I shake it up and add a little to the tank. I wait about 10 minutes to allow for a feeding response, then I dump the rest in.
Hey, pal, you forgot "The Concoction." Don't worry, I'll not let Allan know.

She posted up yesterday that her coffee was DELICIOUS!!
Hey, pal, it usually helps to get your facts straight.

That's right!! Amanda told you about the coffee club
Looks like you're getting your facts straight.

Like keep Chris in suspense Lol !! 😂
I did text John @kingranch2003 this morning. No reply yet but it is his Saturday. I am trying to go with, "No news is good news."

Coffee. Baby. Leopard print pants. No wonder @Gumbies R Us never leaves the house.

Was It the blonde hair that got me caught ?
No, it was all the quoting yourself.

My brother got me doing something around 12 but I cannot mention this. TOS.

Hey, you would be surprised! I leave the house quite a bit to either run errands, go to a "thriftstore" near me or go rock climbing
 
So I guess it really depends on how the hurricane is moving, where the "direct impacts" are, and if flooding/intense waves are an issue. Trying to understand the severity of a hurricane, haha. Since all we get are EF1-5 tornadoes
I've never been in the direct path of a hurricane but I have been in the direct path of a cyclone (same thing just different geographic area of the world) and they are not something to ever take lightly. Because they have a huge path and usually move very slowly they can change direction almost randomly and even 100 feet can mean the difference between no big deal and death. The storm surges bring most of the destruction in lower areas but the sustained high winds can rip apart the seemingly indestructible. Please never take one lightly. Most are lucky but some aren't and I don't want the unlucky one to be one of you.

I do hope one of those errands is to buy more leopard print pants. (I kid. I am kidding. If this is too much then just let me know.)
